Sadness, Outrage at Reported Sexual Abuse at Hutto |
The T. Don Hutto detention center is a private prison formerly contracted to detain immigrant families, including small children. Last August, in a victory for Grassroots Leadership and our allies, Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced that it would end family detention at Hutto as part of sweeping reforms to the detention system.

Support Immigrant Women, Support the Driver's License Campaign! (Where the Allies At?) |
from the open publishing newswire: Calling all allies and supporters!
Please come out to support the Mujeres en Liderazgo as they take their campaign for driver’s licenses to the capitol.
After over two years of organizing, the Mujeres en Liderazgo are preparing for their bill to be voted on by the state representatives. This is a crucial moment for the bill which would give drivers licenses to everyone.
With the support of the community, different organizations, religious groups, and legislators, “Mujeres en Liderazgo” has introduced a Bill in the State Legislature that would allow anyone living in Minnesota to get a driver’s license, regardless of their citizenship status.
