What We Can Do to Help
- First Amendment Rights:
- Freedom of speech to get our message heard (what I'm saying)
- Freedom of press to spread information (what this website is for)
- Freedom of assembly to gather for the cause (what we're all doing now)
- Freedom of petition to pass a bill through Congress (what we can do together)
The Advocates for Human Rights
- An organization throughout the US that uses advocacy to combat social justice issues, including immigration
- Fights for immigrants' rights and to pass bills in Congress that will help them
Education
- Along with the previously mentioned solutions, education is also very important to inspire advocacy
- Many assume immigrants are bringing crime, or come to steal jobs and ruin the economy
- Education will help discard this generalization
- Mandatory unit on immigration in civics classes
- Adult education sponsored by the US Department of Education
