NODEEP KAUR, our sister, who represents the best of us, is a 24 year old Sikh woman and Dalit majdoor rights activist who was actively working for majdoor rights and farmers protest since day one of this movement. She is in jail for more than 20 days now. (1/5)

She has been physically and sexually assaulted, her bail has been rejected by the court.

Nodeep Kaur, needs our support, let's stand for her, for women’s rights, for dalit rights, for majdoor rights, for farmers rights, and for sikh rights.

Nodeep has been tortured and beaten up by the police. Male police officers have sexually assaulted her. While Nodeep is being brutally assaulted at Karnal Jail, a threat hovers around the workers of the Kundli Industrial Area.

Her bail plea was rejected yesterday. (3/5)
Sexual violence against women, specifically with regards to dalit women is an epidemic in India. It is the state's way of maintaining dominance over the dalits - a group of people who were considered as 'untouchables' in India's regressive caste system. (4/5)
Nodeep used her voice to speak against this epidemic. She is a beacon of light. Lots and lots of prayers for Nodeep Kaur’s safety and release. In solidarity with Nodeep Kaur.

Use your platforms to bring light to Nodeep Kaur.

We finally have the U.S. Citizenship Act Bill Text! I'm going to go through some portions of the bill right now and highlight some of the major changes and improvements that it would make to our immigration system.

Thread:


First the Bill makes a series of promises changes to the way we talk about immigrants and immigration law.

Gone would be the term "alien" and in its place is "noncitizen."

Also gone would be the term "alienage," replaced with "noncitizenship."


Now we get to the "earned path to citizenship" for all undocumented immigrants present in the United States on January 1, 2021.

Under this bill, anyone who satisfies the eligibility criteria for a new "lawful prospective immigrant status" can come out of the shadows.


So, what are the eligibility criteria for becoming a "lawful prospective immigrant status"? Those are in a new INA 245G and include:

- Payment of the appropriate fees
- Continuous presence after January 1, 2021
- Not having certain criminal record (but there's a waiver)


After a person has been in "lawful prospective immigrant status" for at least 5 years, they can apply for a green card, so long as they still pass background checks and have paid back any taxes they are required to do so by law.

However! Some groups don't have to wait 5 years.
