.@LetEdithStay is home.
"I feel more happy now," Edith said. "I feel really happy to do things together now because when I was in sanctuary I felt very alone and I missed my kids and my family. Now I want to enjoy my lost time with them."

On #InternationalWomensDay, read this story about women helping women.
@LizbethMateo helped get @LetEdithStay out of sanctuary.
"Lizbeth is an example. She came to this country and was able to make the best of the opportunities she had."

On Feb. 18, @LetEdithStay took a risk & entered an @ICEgov office to see if she could leave the church she's been living in for 3 years to avoid deportation.
Meet @LizbethMateo, the woman who decided they'd take the risk & who is undocumented herself:

Happy and celebrating this important step for @LetEdithStay where she was able to go home after 3.5 years! There’s still work to do but let’s celebrate this victory! #SolidaritywithEdith
Three and a half years later, my client @LetEdithStay can finally come out of #sanctuary. This is not the end of her fight. We still need to get rid of her final order of deportation, but this is a welcome victory. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
More details to follow.

Edith Espinal, who has been living in sanctuary here since 2017, is applying for a Stay Of Removal tomorrow, and could use some phone calls to local representatives if you live in Central Ohio. Consider making calls/sharing the info.
ALT Edith could use your calls! With Edith applying for a Stay of Removal tomorrow, please take a minute today to call our representatives and urge them to do the right thing. It's far past time that Edith is liberated from sanctuary and be free to live united with her family! Representative Joyce Beatty: (614) 220-0003 Rep. Beatty's D.C. Office: (202) 225-4324 Senator Sherrod Brown: (614) 469-2083 Sen. Brown's D.C. Office: (202) 224-2315
![“Hello, my name is _________, and I am a constituent of Columbus. I would like to encourage [Rep. Beatty/Sen. Brown] to call the acting ICE Director to grant/approve Edith's application for a Stay of Removal and/or Deferred Action, that her case be granted prosecutorial discretion so that she can be free to live united with her family. Today there are 40 people living in sanctuary, taking refuge in houses of worship as their only option to be safe from deportation and to keep their families intact. The Obama administration granted many of these people stays of removal, but over the last four years they have been forced into sanctuary as the Trump administration has worked incessantly to deport them or send them to detention centers. Edith has been living in our church for more than 3 years and 4 months. I urge the [Representative/Senator] to use their influence and do the right thing.”](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EsmCBE7WMAcbIEh.jpg?name=orig)

The avocado's rise from culinary fad to must-have superfood has made it a lucrative crop -- and a magnet for money-hungry cartels. Watch Netflix’s “Rotten” season 2, episode 1, and consider how our food choices in the U.S. impact immigration. buff.ly/2Uhjkfp
