“In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we are calling on all Texans (and beyond) who claim Irish origins to stand in solidarity with this generation’s asylum seekers. If you are one of the 35 million Americans who lay claim to the Emerald Isle as a part of your story, please remember that your ancestors likely faced the same hostility and resistance that confronts those seeking safety and the hope of prosperity in 2023. Don’t let them down!”
~ IWC Advocacy Co-Chair Matt Lohmeier
