The Trump administration is hunting down hundreds of international students and workers, here legally with visas and legal permanent residency, and trying to deport them based on simply their association with pro-Palestinian advocacy.

Today is Cesar Chavez Day, commemorating the acclaimed civil rights and labor movement activist. March 31, his birthday, had been celebrated for many years before President Barack Obama proclaimed it to be a Federal holiday in 2014. Today’s Poster of the Week highlights Chavez’s focus on non-violent direct action. This needs to be our call now.
"Nonviolence is not inaction. It is not discussion. It is not for the timid or the weak... Nonviolence is hard work. It is the willingness to sacrifice. It is the patience to win."
