The 2020 election season has already started and won’t stop for well over a year. It can seem exhausting and beyond our control . . . but we can claim our own power and shape events this election season. Let’s get moving on some ways to make change in 2020 and beyond.
Reforming Immigration
This week is immigration week at MCW! Here are steps you can take to understand and advocate for progressive immigration reform measures and to fight against the Trump administration’s hateful anti-immigrant stance.
When Compassion is a Crime
Last week, a federal trial opened in Phoenix against activist Scott Warren, who faces up to twenty years in prison for felony counts of “harboring” undocumented immigrants by providing humanitarian aid to migrants crossing the Arizona desert. Warren is one of several volunteers affiliated with the group No More Deaths/No Más Muertes (English/Español) to have been targeted for prosecution in recent years. Warren was arrested in early 2018, shortly after helping to publicize a video of Border Patrol agents sabotaging water left for migrants in the desert. Many observers consider the arrest to be politically motivated.
