Behind the backs of the people they serve and closed doors, Wisconsin republicans, moved to remove drivers licenses and tuition equity for immigrants, the repeal of Act 10, and other important items from our state's budget. What do you do when the working-class, Black, brown and immigrant communities are under attack? Stand up! Fight back!

Mandeeq Abdulahi, member of Voces de la Frontera Action and YES speaks truth to power and invites you to do the same!
Call Senator Tammy Baldwin to demand she votes to include ITIN immigrants in federal relief & legalization for undocumented #essentialworkers. Find tool-kits and scripts at https://vdlf.org/we-are-home-campaign/ or send a DM if you have questions!
Anything less than including ITIN immigrants in #COVID19 federal relief is inhumane and inadequate. Wisconsin Senators need to do what they were hired to do by Black, Brown and Immigrant voters!
