Dear Community,
I am writing to share my deepest gratitude to you all for endorsing and joining over 260 groups to oppose the racist entry ban and in support of targeted communities, led by Muslims for Just Futures and UndocuBlack Network with support from Building Movement Project. Thank you for taking the time despite the heaviness in this moment and in light of the escalation of authoritarian violence all across the country. Over 260 groups representing a wide swath of communities, issues, and immigrant rights, economic, gender, LGBTQ and racial justice movements have endorsed this statement.
