Environmentalist statement of solidarity with the Dreamers

A coalition of environmental organizations, including Friends of the Earth and the Sierra Club, argues that the struggle for environmental justice is interconnected with the fight for the protections of 'Dreamers'. The group condemns the use of these individuals as 'bargaining chips' to fund a border wall and calls on Congress to reject policies of division and racism.

• A coalition of environmental groups calls on the US Congress to reopen the government using a clean funding deal that ensures protections for the Dreamers.
• The signatories argue that the Trump administration and the Republican Party have used the Dreamers as leverage to secure funding for a border wall through policies and rhetoric described as poisonous.
• The environmental movement links its fight for the Earth to a broader responsibility for justice for all people, asserting that denying protections to Dreamers based on racist policies is unacceptable.
