The bilingual Tribuno del Pueblo and the People’s Tribune stand against the false statements about migrants. We are launching a campaign to get the truth out!

We are launching this campaign to combat all the mainstream lies and shine a moral light on the truth: that no human being is illegal, and seeking asylum is a human right. We hope it will help everyone see that the migrants and refugees are not wrecking this country. It is the billionaires and their for-profit system that are wrecking the country, and all of us have a common cause in transforming our country. We can do so if we unite. Please read the stories below from people and groups that want to join this effort. And send us your stories. Leave your story at peoplestribune.org or tribunodelpueblo.org.
You can also email your story to peoplestribune@gmail.com or tribunodelpueblo@gmail.org

In solidarity,  People’s Tribune and Tribuno del Pueblo
