Not in Our Town – Can American cities stop Trump from deporting millions?
“For some jurisdictions, resisting ICE is about limited resources. For others, it is a political, ethical, or economic stand.

Refugees revitalize American cities
“More than 3.2 million refugees have come to the United States since 1975. They are social workers, farmers, artisans, shopkeepers, doctors, teachers, engineers and others…They go to school, marry, raise families, and contribute to our ethos of hard work, striving, and resilience. Those of us who know them understand that they better us as a nation.” #RefugeesWelcome http://bit.ly/2gJHgpd RefugePoint
