Please see the message below from United We Dream about their urgency call tonight, November 9^th!

“The most contentious election in a generation is over. We are declaring a STATE OF URGENCY & RESILIENCE for our communities.

Over the coming weeks, our families and community members will need to tap into the incredible strength that brought us to this country and which we use to survive.

Join our urgency call at tomorrow, November 9 at 7:00pm ET to join together and decide how we will fight back.

It is up to us to unite in this moment and show that we are Here To Stay”

“La elección más contenciosa en una generación ha terminado. Estamos declarando un ESTADO DE URGENCIA y RESISTENCIA para nuestras comunidades.

Este es un momento para movilizar en cada ciudad y estado alrededor del país.

Estamos pidiendo a todos que tomen acción para demandar que sus alcaldes y gobernadores declaren sus ciudades y estados como lugares seguros para la comunidad inmigrante.

Únanse a nuestra llamada de urgencia el Noviembre 9 a las 8:30pm ET para unirse y decidir cómo vamos a luchar.

Depende de nosotros unirnos en este momento y demostrar que estamos aquí para quedarnos.”
