Delegación a Tijuana

We Belong Together, Tijuana, México 2012

En septiembre, un grupo de participantes en la campaña Nos Mantenemos Unidos viajaron a Tijuana, México, para reunirse con mujeres migrantes quienes habían sido deportadas de los Estados Unidos y quienes se encuentran lejos de sus familias en ambos lados de la frontera. Sus testimonios son evidencia de la crisis humanitaria que han creado las políticas inmigratorias de los Estados Unidos. También demuestran la gran valentía de las mujeres migrantes quienes arriesgan todo por proveerles un futuro mejor a sus hijos, sus familias y sus comunidades.

Virtual Delegation to Tennessee

On May 3rd, 2012, We Belong Together organized a “virtual” Women’s Human Rights Delegation to Knoxville, Tennessee, where we heard from immigrant women and allies who are organizing against federal anti-immigrant policies in their county.

Women's Human Rights Delegation to Alabama

In June 2011, a new immigration enforcement law went into effect in the state of Alabama. HB 56 is the harshest copycat version of Arizona’s controversial SB 1070 in the United States. In response to this law, seventeen women leaders from various women, children advocacy, worker rights, immigrant rights, and human rights organizations around the country formed the We Belong Together initiative to Birmingham to bear witness to the impact of these laws on women and children. The delegation heard powerful and moving testimonies from women who have been affected by this draconian law.
