• Rooted in the promise of America ’ s call for huddled masses yearning to breathe free , we believe in immigrant and refugee rights regardless of status or country of origin . It is our moral duty to keep families together and empower all aspiring Americans to fully participate in , and contribute to , our economy and society . We reject mass deportation , family detention , violations of due process and violence against queer and trans migrants . Immigration reform must establish a roadmap to citizenship , and provide equal opportunities and workplace protections for all . We recognize that the call to action to love our neighbor is not limited to the United States , because there is a global migration crisis . We believe migration is a human right and that no human being is illegal .
• We believe that every person and every community in our nation has the right to clean water , clean air , and access to and enjoyment of public lands . We believe that our environment and our climate must be protected , and that our land and natural resources cannot be exploited for corporate gain or greed — especially at the risk of public safety and health .
