I know people in this organization are even following ICE vehicles around and messaging covertly... I mean, it's just super impressive. Every undocumented immigrant I have asked (I know a lot) is already connected to this message group. I don't know that an app would improve it in any way? Though, the group seems to be using some sort of program because when I signed up I got a few automated messages asking for some of my information, and I know that multiple people are messaging through this number with notifications. Regardless, go team! They are doing so much good. permalink fedilink source parent
