Last week, I joined African Communities Together, New York Immigration Coalition, and other groups in a march and rally in honor of World Refugee Day. We assembled in Bryant Park, marched to the United States Mission to the United Nations, and held a rally at nearby Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza right across the street from the Trump World Tower.

Two staffers from African Communities Together getting ready for the march and rally to begin.

Exodus 22:21 Thou shall neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him, for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Immigrants make our nation stronger. Let my people stay. #KeepFamiliesTogether #DreamActNow

2300 children torn from their parents since May. This. Must. End.

Why are we caging refugee children? 1 refugee without hope is too many.

AG Sessions and House Republicans both want to crack down on asylum seekers. Don’t Let Them.

Family values value families

Immigrants — We get the job done!

My people were refugees too.

Families belong together! Children don’t belong in cages!

Jesus was a refugee. You shall not oppress a sojourner.

Fleeing for your life is not a crime. #NoFamilyDetention

Will exchange racists for refugees

Immigrant families = America

Refugees + Asylum Seekers Welcome

Harm to children & families is never a solution

How would you feel if the gov’t took your child from you because you sought asylum and you didn’t know where they were – or when you would see them again? This. Is. America.

Give their babies back you monsters!

Asylum is a right, not a crime.

True patriots condemn racism!

Hitler also separated families!

Refugees are human beings.

We must protect the most vulnerable.
