Last week’s arrests of some 680 immigrants are almost
certainly the beginning of a large and well-publicized Trump administration
assault on the country’s more than 11 million undocumented people. The raids
have sparked a number of local protests, but what are the plans for building long-term resistance?
Below we’re listing two national organizations that are
asking people to pledge their support for targeted immigrants. There will
undoubtedly be many more efforts like these, both nationally and locally. If
you have information on additional plans to resist the raids, please contact us

#HereToStay Network (United We Dream)
[United We Dream describes
itself as “the largest immigrant youth-led organization in the nation” with a
network “of over 100,000 immigrant youth and allies and 55 affiliate
organizations in 26 states.”]
I am ready to support immigrants at risk of deportation by
the Trump regime.
I pledge to physically show up for immigrants in my
community when they need me.
We are getting reports from dozens of cities that Trump
regime agents are raiding homes to deport immigrants and their families.
If you chanted “Immigrants are welcome here,” at a protest -
it’s time to show up.
If you flooded the airport to fight for refugees - it’s time
to show up.
If you hit the streets when Trump announced his immigration
orders - it’s time to show up.
The #HereToStay Network is a group of people ready to fight
for immigrants at risk of deportation. When Trump agents show up to raid
immigrants’ homes and workplaces, we'll need you to show up.
