What an incredible win for our immigrant community

What an incredible win for our immigrant community!! 🎉🎉

The organizing efforts of local organizations and community members has demonstrated that immigrants deserve investment and prioritization in the City of Fresno! We are thrilled that the Fresno County Legal Defense Fund has won a $200,000 investment from the City of Fresno!

This funding will help to keep families together and provide legal representation to immigrants from our community facing deportation! In addition, it will help build capacity of local immigrant-serving organizations as they partner with private attorneys to protect families.

Special shout-out to the FCDLF Steering Committee members who have led this effort and already helped provide representation for 18 community members!

A big thank you to Councilmember Luis Chavez who made the motion, Councilmember Nelson Esparza, Councilmember Miguel Arias, Fresno City Council District 3, Councilmember Esmeralda Soria and Councilmember Tyler Maxwell who all voted in support!

TAKE ACTION: Put pressure on the U.S. government to #FreeOmarAmeen!

Omar was recently exonerated by a judge years after he was falsely accused of being a deadly ISIS Commander, yet he still isn't free to be with his wife and four children in Sacramento. Instead, he was transferred to ICE custody on the same false accusations.

Omar's freedom is long overdue, and he deserves to be with his family for Eid - and beyond.

Help spread the word and #FreeOmarAmeen!
