Hi Rosi
It took nearly two hours for Montgomery police to arrest 13 of our undocumented leaders. The group ranged in age from 17 year-old Diane, a high school senior in Alabama, to 57 year old Martin Unzueta, an organizer from Chicago.
All 12 are being held on a $500 bond each, chip in $25 if you can to help us get them out.
This action was led by the Alabama Youth collective and  directed towards the community, a community living in constant fear. Their stories are actually quite similar to your stories. This just means when one of us is under attack, be it in Chicago or Montgomery, it is the responsibility of all of us to take action and fight back.
Help us bond them out, chip in $25 to donate to the undocumented bond fund.
Belen, a mother of three was another of the 12 arrested. Belen is from Michigan, she was taking action because she is tired of seeing her family under attack. Belen told us about when her son would come home after being picked on at school and how she would worry for him all the time. Belen took action in Alabama to stand in solidarity with other undocumented mothers who go through the same struggles and are afraid to speak out. Belen's bond is set at $500, will you chip in $25 to help us bond her out?
Jaime is a DREAMer like many of you but he is also the parent of an amazing two year old. Following in the footsteps of his parents who took a huge risk in coming to this country to give him a better life Jaime is now taking a risk to give his daughter a better life. Support Jaime with $25 and help us raise his $500 bond.
The 13 who took action want you to take action. They want you to come out of the shadows and declare yourself undocumented and unafraid. We know it's scary but living everyday in the shadows is also scary, why not come out and fight back like the Alabama 13?
