In response to the re-election of Donald Trump, we and our 120+ member organizations redouble our commitment to ensure people can exercise their right to seek safety at our borders, & our commitment to fight for newcomers & long-standing community members.

Eight years after he first took office, his administration is poised to enact policies that would be devastating to communities across the country and our society as a whole, including mass deportations and the dismantling of refugee protections.

The threats of a second Trump presidency extend far beyond the communities we work with, endangering all of us—especially marginalized groups. This is a moment for unity—a moment for solidarity and support across all social justice movements, communities, and issue areas.

To our communities – our neighbors, friends & family – we are here for you & will continue to be here. We stand alongside our members to uphold and fight for the dignity, humanity, and rights of all our communities. Read our statement: welcomewithdignity.org/wwdcampaign-re…

My advice to journos covering Syria: this is a complex story to tell with a criminal regime, bad actors, foreign influence & uncertainty of what's to come. Tell complex stories, but center your stories in the agency of Syrians. It's their story, their country, their freedom.

To all the analysts jumping on here to warn about tomorrow, Syrians are 10 steps ahead of you. Have some basic human empathy and let those celebrating the release of the unjustly detained, the reuniting of families, the hopes of return, the end of a brutal regime do so in peace.

"A few years ago, 70% of Gazans were #refugees. In 2024, the UN reported that 90% of Gazans were displaced… #Gaza’s universities are gone…~95% of schools have been damaged or destroyed. Whole neighborhoods are filmed as they get blown up." -Mosab Abu Toha newyorker.com/culture/essay/…
