The Trump Administration's sweeping immigration crackdown is rippling through the U.S. labor market—gutting key industries and threatening economic growth. The policies are displacing thousands of immigrant workers who keep the economy running. brnw.ch/21wWUmf

Thank you @CAgovernor for signing AB 1261 and helping to #ProtectFamilies!

@CAgovernor signed AB 1261 by Asm. Bonta into law!!! This new law expands access to lawyers for immigrant children and youth facing deportation. No one — especially children — should face deportation in court without a lawyer defending their rights in California.

1/ Head Start delivers critical services for families with low incomes across the country, but the government shutdown threatens to close programs that serve 65,152 children nationwide if it extends past November 1st. #HeadStartAwarenessMonth clasp.org/press-room/pre…

Today marks day 14 of the ongoing government shutdown, with no clear end in sight. With each day that goes by, children and families' unmet needs mount. clasp.org/press-room/pre…

The federal government has officially shut down after Congress failed to pass a budget. This isn’t just political theater—it’s a direct threat to children, families, and workers nationwide.

Our “Higher Ed Under Trump” roundtable continues with this key contribution from Christian Collins at @CLASP_DC. Yes, the overall college-age population is shrinking, but enrollment needn’t necessarily crater if colleges can recruit and support Black and Hispanic men

As Higher Education editor at @PublicBooks, I asked experts—thinkers, scholars, teachers, organizers—for short essays outlining one positive change we can work towards in higher ed, no matter who currently occupies the White House. Our roundtable series begins publishing today.

New at PB: Christian Collins of @clasp_dc argues that what’s missing from conversations about the “enrollment cliff” is a desire to turn it into an “enrollment shift.” buff.ly/tJBq27E

Las mujeres latinas inmigrantes son las más afectadas por la disparidad salarial, pero con demasiada frecuencia son excluidas en los datos. Es hora de que Prioricemos sus voces y exijamos soluciones permanentes. #LatinaEqualPay #Trabajadoras

📊 Unions help shrink the wage gap. In 2024, union women earned 87¢ per $1 vs 82¢ among nonunion workers. Stronger unions = fairer pay, stronger protections. #LatinaEqualPay #Trabajadoras

The #WageGap cannot be explained away by education, experience, or perceived choices. Even states with large populations of Latinas in the workforce, rampant wage disparities persist, with devastating consequences for Latinas #LatinaEqualPay #Trabajadoras brnw.ch/21wWsgz
