There are 41 million people living in the #US who weren’t born here. Donald Trump thinks you should be scared of them. Artist @mollycrabapple and comedian Samantha Bee tell a different story. This Fourth of July, we’re standing with those millions. Amid tomorrow’s celebrations, remember that #ImmigrantsAreUs. Indonesian authorities are fueling an HIV epidemic through complicity in discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. The government’s failure to halt arbitrary and unlawful raids by police and militant Islamists on private #LGBT gatherings has effectively derailed public health outreach efforts to vulnerable populations. To those marching in support of immigration rights in the US this weekend, we stand with you today and everyday because #ImmigrantsAreUS! The Week in Numbers. The Trump Administration believes it has solved the crisis they created. After ripping 2,000 children from the arms of their parents they are now locking up huge numbers of families together. Halting the separation of families is not enough. We must end zero tolerance and the criminalization of immigrant families. Asylum seekers should not be detained, and detention of kids is never in their People with #disabilities in #Iran face discrimination, abuse, and an inaccessible environment. Hassan (not his real name), who uses a wheelchair in Tehran, said: “I try to avoid using escalators, but sometimes I have no other choice. With my heavy wheelchair…, getting on the escalator feels like a suicide [mission]. Once, I almost fell. Had I not been lucky, I could have sustained a deadly injury.” The government should immediately issue statements at the highest level that discrimination against people with disabilities has no place in Iran and make a clear, time-bound plan for ensuring accessibility of transportation, social services, and health care.
