A lot of people are being harmed by the current administration. Let's mobilize & help them. I'll pick a Trump order/policy weekly & highlight relevant orgs we can collectively help w/our money & time. Every little bit adds up. (I'm @paix120.bsky.social)

Call your government representatives Call your local, state, and/or national representatives to let them know that this is a humanitarian issue. Find your federal senators and representatives to send a message. Key messages include: • Protect children's rights. Do not eliminate any existing protections for immigrant children and families. Protections are not loopholes. • Give children the chance to tell their experiences and evaluate their claims to see if they qualify as refugees. • Establish high standards for the humane treatment of children (and families) in US Customs and Border Protection custody. • The current situation at the border is a crisis of leadership, not a crisis of insufficient resources. • Prevent the government from redirecting any additional emergency funds to other enforcement purposes.
Screenshot of a social media post, with a partial photo of a White House fact sheet below. "Michael Richards As you may have heard, the Trump Administration has singled out Harrisonburg City Public Schools in a fact sheet accompanying an executive order banning what it calls "gender ideology" in schools. The claims in their statement are false. We do not have a policy that violates anyone's rights or indoctrinates children. What we do have is a culture of respect-one that honors the dignity and diversity of all students, families, and educators. Naming specific school divisions is using fear as a weapon. Fear to silence educators. Fear to divide communities. Fear to force compliance with an ideology that deliberately targets the most vulnerable. Let me be clear: I will not be intimidated. I stand firm in my commitment to ensuring that HCPS remains a safe, welcoming place for all." THE WHITE HOUSE FACT SHEET: President Donald J. Trump Ends Indoctrination in America's Schools "On day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing Critical Race Theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children."
