Hello Community!
I’m very happy to share some miraculous news with you.
Through the persistent, organizing & advocacy of our community we were able to terminate my immigration Case. After years of fear of deportation, I can finally enjoy my time here in the U.S with my family.
This is a great example that love and faith can overcome the hate that has been plaguing our society with all the anti immigrant narratives.
This one of the many victories will see coming for god loving community power will prevail through these times.
Thank you all for so much love and support
May we continue to walk together in a faithful spirit and take care of our communities
With much love and appreciation
Jose Ruben
