Undocumented immigrants pay BILLIONS of dollars in taxes.

Their taxes pay for public safety, education, healthcare & more — but can't access many of the benefits they contribute to. How is that fair?

Too many trans people are waiting in limbo to apply for asylum at the border, often enduring the same violence & discrimination they sought to escape as they wait.

Protecting trans migrants' rights means we must provide a safer pathway to asylum.

Undocumented immigrants in Michigan can receive only 2 months of post-partum care.

The year following delivery of a baby is a critical time — ALL people should have access to the care they need when they need it.

Driver's license access for undocumented immigrants in Michigan would bring in $100M in revenue over the next decade.

Expanding access isn't just good economics — it's the right thing to do.

Here's the bottom line: Texas' SB4 is a racist law that targets immigrants.

These unconstitutional attacks won't stand. We'll just like we stopped Arizona's SB1070.

Reminder: undocumented immigrants contribute billions in taxes annually, supporting vital programs like Medicare and Social Security.

Despite their contributions, they are denied access to services they help fund.

We all must have access to the resources we need to thrive.

As immigrants age, they should have the same access to financial security as people born in the U.S.—but their income takes a downward turn because they lack retirement benefits.

Everyone should be able to retire with dignity, no matter their status.
