3 One Last Ask of President Obama President Obama might be leaving office Friday at noon, but he can still act to protect immigrant families. Join the national call for the President to protect immigrants with minor criminal convictions by pardoning their eligibility for deportation and allowing them to stay in the U.S. with their families and free of fear. Sample President Obama, Before you leave office, there s one more action you can take to secure your impact. Please grant clemency to the immigrants who face deportation under President Trump for minor criminal convictions. Your protection from deportation will allow hundreds of thousands of immigrants to stay in the U.S. with their families. Sincerely, [Name] Join the fray on social media: Use the hashtag #POTUSpardon to join the push. Share why you think this pardon is important. Some suggested tweets are below, for you to work from. We believe that this effort is important, even if the President does not grant our request (and we know he s getting lots of them right now). Donald Trump has made it clear that anyone with any sort of criminal record will be in his administration s sights for deportation. We need to rally around them. Building this call is a way to do that before Trump even takes office. Suggested Make ur final act -- a #POTUSpardon of longtime resident immigrants to keep 1000s of families together 1 day. 1 action. Over 200,000 sign #POTUSpardon to keep longtime immigrants with their families. Act before you can t. Sign #POTUSpardon to keep longtime resident immigrants w minor convictions at home
4 How White Progressives Should Respond in the Era of Trump By Deborah Axt and Daniel Altschuler, Make the Road New York With 29 days until the presidential inauguration, most progressives are feeling horrified by the prospect of the White House soon becoming the residence of a man who pledged during his campaign to deport millions of undocumented immigrants en masse, ban Muslims and forcing those in the country already to sign up for a registry, and expand Stopand-Frisk policing. No doubt, our core values of equal opportunity, toleration, and the rule of law are in jeopardy. For white progressives, this moment raises a particular question: given that many of the most egregious policies from the new administration will not target white people, what can we do to help stop Trump? One key part of the answer: be ready to put your body on the line. As two white people working at a social justice organization, we have observed a surge of interest from other progressive white people since Donald Trump s election in supporting grassroots organizations. In this difficult moment, there are, of course, various traditional ways for people with privilege to support the struggle of communities of color and immigrants. All progressives with means can, and should, donate resources to social justice organizations, volunteer for local groups, and contact their legislators to take action to stop Trump s agenda. But volunteerism and calling one s legislators alone will not suffice at a moment where entire communities and our nation s very social fabric are at risk. Blocking the Trump administration s efforts to terrorize immigrants, Muslims, and communities of color will require contentious direct action, which will include protest in the streets and civil disobedience. And those with the privileges of whiteness, US citizenship, and socio-economic security must be ready to participate. Protest is fairly uncommon for most Americans. A Pew Global Attitudes Project poll in April 2016 found that only 4 percent of Americans had participated in an organized protest in the past 12 months, and only 12 percent had done so in the more distant past. But, in recent years, we have seen movements like Black Lives Matter (BLM), the Fight for $15, and the immigrant rights movement succeed in regularly mobilizing thousands of people to action, with substantial impact. The Fight for $15, for instance, has won minimum wage increases in states and cities across the country, while BLM and immigrants rights leaders have changed the national conversation about police reform and attempts to scapegoat immigrants. At a time when the new President has promised an unparalleled trampling of the rights of immigrants, Muslims, and communities of color not to mention the evisceration of our nation s social safety net, an assault on workers rights, and unprecedented attacks on women s control of their bodies we are going to have to become much more accustomed to taking to the streets. In 2017 and beyond, these actions will be led primarily by immigrants, Muslims, and people of color. That is as it should be: the movement to defeat Trump s agenda should be led by the communities directly affected by his attacks. White people can be supportive and helpful, but we will not be the principal protagonists. Our duty is to show up and to stand with our brothers and sisters for a more just world. And we must be ready for truly contentious protest, including civil disobedience. Protest during the Trump era will be about more than just public demonstrations to call for a particular public policy or attracting press attention to our causes; it will need to be a tool to prevent the passage and implementation of an unjust agenda that would irreversibly harm millions of people. The United States has a long and rich tradition of civil disobedience, ranging from Henry David Thoreau to the Civil Rights Movement to anti-vietnam and anti-apartheid protests. The core premise is simple: where government is acting illegitimately and taking actions that run afoul of the basic tenets of our democracy such as free speech and equal protection ordinary citizens should do what they can to prevent others from suffering harm.
5 Thoreau beckons us with a question for what lies ahead under a reckless Trump administration: Unjust laws exist; shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once? In most cases in our recent history, progressives have focused on organizing to amend or replace bad laws and policies. But the Trump era, which poses graver threats to our communities and the fabric of our democracy than any recent political moment, will require bold and disruptive transgression. Civil disobedience will be particularly critical under a Trump administration because his cabinet will be filled with extremists (likely including notorious racists Steve Bannon and Jeff Sessions, as chief strategist and Attorney General, respectively), and the Republicans in control of both the Senate and the House are unlikely to check his efforts to carry out his intolerant agenda. With little accountability on Capitol Hill, there will be many cases where only the people, taking bold direct action, can disrupt Trump s efforts to tear apart millions of immigrant families and discriminate against Muslims and people of color. Bold action will require a willingness to get arrested and even risk bodily harm, as we ve seen recently in the valiant and successful efforts of indigenous protesters at Standing Rock. When government fails to listen to popular opinion and scorns popular demonstrators, as Trump has already done in response to the large-scale mobilizations following the election and will likely continue in 2017, civil disobedience is a powerful tool. Citizens putting their bodies on the line is a critical means to confront those in power with the deepest objections to unjust rule and to do so publicly, so that those in power are forced to respond. Such civil disobedience carries with it substantial risks for some. Under a Trump administration intent on quickly deporting millions of undocumented immigrants and Muslim immigrants, many members of these communities will have understandable hesitations about participating in actions that may put them or their families in jeopardy. And that s where white allies (and other privileged people) with the protections afforded us by our whiteness, US citizenship, and socio-economic stability, must be ready to answer the call. When our brothers and sisters are recruiting people to participate in their actions, we must be ready to raise our hands. And our participation must not be an act of charity. Rather, we must stand in solidarity out of the clear conviction that, when the rights of a neighbors are in jeopardy, we are all in jeopardy; when one group in our society is being scapegoated, we are all in peril; and that only when all those around us are free can we be truly free. Social justice organizations around the country have been strategizing since Election Day about how best to respond to the specter of President-elect Trump and his Republican Congress. Those plans are not all finalized yet, and much will depend on how Trump tries to advance his platform. But one thing is for sure: large-scale protest and civil disobedience will be at the heart of our movements efforts to stop him in his tracks. White progressives must be ready to show up with regularity, and with courage. Deborah Axt and Daniel Altschuler are, respectively, the Co-Executive Director and Director of Civic Engagement and Research at Make the Road New York, the largest grassroots community organization in New York offering services and organizing the immigrant community.
6 E ROA MAK E TH NEW Y D OR K DIGNIDAD, C OM UN IDA D Y PODER MAKE THE ROAD NEW YORK OUR WORK MRNY builds the power of Latino and working class communities to achieve dignity and justice. To do this, we use the four strategies described below. COMMUNITY ORGANIZING Members identify common problems, devise solutions, and wage grassroots campaigns to enact those solutions. Recent victories include expanded health coverage for transgender New Yorkers and limits on biased policing. Our non-partisan voter education efforts also reach tens of thousands annually. MEET MRNY MEMBERS POLICY INNOVATION Our lawyers work with members to design enforceable solutions to widespread problems. We crafted the NYS Wage Theft Prevention Act, the strongest such law in the US. Other examples are a program to fix distressed housing and policies mandating translation services. GLADYS We helped Gladys demand and win critical repairs from her landlord and in the process become a tenant advocate and MRNY board co-chair. When she fell seriously ill, we won near-elimination of her massive medical debt. CLAUDIA LEGAL & SURVIVAL SERVICES We serve the complex needs of whole families, handling over 9,000 legal and health cases a year. We ve recovered $100 million in improperly denied wages, enrolled 5,000 people in health insurance and helped over 1,400 youth apply for President Obama s deportation relief program. TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION We helped Claudia unite with other exploited workers to launch their own cleaning cooperative, while our attorneys litigated to collect stolen wages from her former employer. We educate participants so they can obtain good jobs, finish school and engage in civic life. We annually teach 4,000 adults in English, civics and job skills. We offer a unique youth-led college access program and a variety of creative youth programs. LUIS We helped Luis s family meet basic needs and find a home after Hurricane Sandy. He joined our organizing, becoming a leader in the successful struggle to win housing vouchers for immigrant Sandy survivors.
7 ABOUT MAKE THE QUICK FACTS ROAD NEW YORK Founded in 1997 MRNY builds the power of immigrant and working communities to achieve respect and dignity. We provide services that annually help 15,000 people get on their feet and organize for far-reaching reforms that impact millions. Every day we welcome hundreds of newcomers. Some come for citizenship classes, others for help with a negligent landlord. Often they stay for an LGBTQ rights workshop or a youth poetry slam, sharing the nightly meal with long-time members. The result: A resilient community that sustains ambitious organizing while nurturing the leadership and self-sufficiency of individual members. MARCY At Make the Road New York, I learned that we can work together to improve things for our communities. When Marcy was about to give up her dream of college, MRNY helped her secure financial aid. She s now a college student the first in her family and an organizer at MRNY s Long Island office, where she teaches other undocumented youth about their rights and organizes for policies that expand opportunities for immigrant families. $15+ million budget for ,000+ members 200 staff members 27 board members, including community members elected by the general membership 16 issue committees FOR MORE INFORMATION Julie Miles Director of Development julie.miles@maketheroadny.org , ext 1203 maketheroad maketheroadny OFFICE LOCATIONS 301 GROVE STREET BROOKLYN, NY PORT RICHMOND AVENUE STATEN ISLAND, NY ROOSEVELT AVENUE JACKSON HEIGHTS, NY SUFFOLK AVENUE BRENTWOOD, NY 11711
