Though the rapid-fire back and forth yesterday had various highlights worth reviewing (lots of informative links, went down swinging at least ;) this seems to sum most of it up with an important question:
round them up and who gives a hoot about their rights nonsense.. and ya know, you, with your false equivalency, seem to be cheering it on. Am I wrong?
Never a bad idea for everyone to consider which side of history they'll be on.
There are various immigrant support related efforts in Hawaii to consider contributing time, skills, and support towards:
The Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) has long worked to secure and safeguard the civil and human rights of communities who are affected by injustice and bigotry. The Honolulu chapter is calling on local and federal officials to provide more information and clarity as to immigration enforcement activities on the islands.
"Our communities deserve to live without fear of unjust targeting and to have their rights protected. We stand in solidarity with those affected and will continue to advocate for justice and equal protection under the law."
Can help support these requests by contacting your representatives - see attached image or Instgram link.
Also people coming together to provide legal support - can add the local immigration help hotline (808-204-5951) to the red cards (to put in your lanyards - papers please? FFS, did history not teach us anything, or did too many people skip those lessons...)
Hawaii lawyers launch deportation defense hotline amid stricter immigration enforcement
...
The service aims to provide relief to families who’ve been separated due to stricter immigration enforcement and advocates trying to help people like Tian and her 9-year-old son, who escaped religious persecution in China.
“Their English is limited, and their knowledge of the U.S. is also limited. And so I definitely think it’s very, very important to have more of a legal help,” said Hong Jiang, a human rights advocate who has helped many Chinese immigrants seek asylum in the U.S.
...
The service comes as advocates brace for the worst.
“I’ve been doing immigration law for the last 25-plus years. The mood lately is a lot of people are very concerned about traveling abroad, like, you know, if I were to travel and I’m not a U.S. citizen, I’m a visa holder or green card holder, upon my entry, would I be able to return?” Chang said.
To reach the immigration help hotline, call 808-204-5951." (more at link)
