| "I get asked every day about how to get ready, what can I do? I must step up, for me, my family, and my community. We have to be in this together. This is the moment to be 100% in." Let us know you're 100% in and become a monthly donor.

| Bunny, my name is Maribel Hernández Rivera, and I'm the ACLU's national director of immigrant community strategies. This work is personal to me. I came to the United States from Mexico as a child in 1993. As a child, I was terrified that if anyone knew I was undocumented, I would be deported. Now, like so many, I'm worried my family could be torn apart by Trump's deportation machine. That's why I do the work I do every day in the ACLU's National Political Advocacy Department – campaigning to safeguard asylum access, expand pathways to citizenship, end unlawful detention, and so much more. But this work requires the ongoing support of individuals like you, which is why I'm asking:
Like millions of others fleeing life-threatening circumstances in their home countries, my own husband is here under temporary protected status – a program Trump has threatened to end. If my husband were deported, I'd have to decide whether to go with him to Honduras and face the same violence that led to the deaths of some of his family members, or stay in the United States without him and support my mother and family. Either choice would tear our family apart. This is the kind of cruelty that we're working to stop. From the second he took office again, Donald Trump sought to end birthright citizenship, send countless migrants to Guantánamo Bay with no access to legal counsel or the outside world, and expand mass deportation efforts. The ACLU won't let this happen. We're building a civil rights firewall in states across the country, educating immigrants on their rights, and taking Trump to court – but we need the resources to make these plans happen. I'm personally asking you to support this work today by becoming a Guardian of Liberty and making a monthly donation. Your first gift will be matched by a group of generous donors. Please, will you become a monthly donor now and be part of protecting immigrant communities – and all our rights – from the Trump administration's attacks? This is a moment to be 100% in – and we all need to be in it together, Bunny. Thank you for your support, Maribel Hernández Rivera The first monthly pledge you make by March 16 will be matched up to $75,000. | |||
