“Latino Victory Fund is proud to stand with our immigrant and refugee brothers and sisters this January 14th at the #HereToStay actions across the country and remind Trump that we are a powerful community with a strong voice.
“We will not remain silent as he attacks us, deports our loved ones, and separates our families. Immigrants are #HereToStay, and we will stand together against hateful policies. We will hold accountable any and all politicians who support the Trump administration’s efforts to harm Latinos, refugees, the immigrant community, the Muslim community, the LGBTQ community, African-Americans and women. We are ready to fight.”
