ICE is preparing to open a new child and family detention center in Louisiana at the England Airpark adjacent to the Alexandria International Airport, which is already notorious as ICE’s busiest mass deportation hub. Communities across Louisiana and the country strongly oppose the opening - join us to stop it!

TIME SENSITIVE!
 
The U.S. Census Bureau has proposed changes to who is counted in the census and how certain demographic information is collected.
 
The proposed changes would exclude millions of people from being counted as part of this country, and would eliminate questions around race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.
 
What does this mean? → The census helps determine how our communities are represented, what resources (like funding) are available, and provides critical information about who calls the United States home.
 
Every person who calls the United States home deserves to be represented in our census data.
Public comments are open now until midnight October 13.
 
It only takes a couple minutes to take action! Visit the link in bio or comments to learn more and submit your comment to make your voice heard.
