For many, this first week of September has brought with it the inspiration to take action.

President Donald Trump’s move to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program has spurred thousands to stand up and protect Dreamers across the United States.

Malala Yousafzai demanded an end to the ‘heart-breaking’ ethnic violence against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, including some 164,000 who have found momentary rest in refugee camps across Bangladesh.

Five former US presidents united to help victims of Hurricane Harvey and Irma, the latest hurricane expected to hit a string of Caribbean islands, including Puerto Rico, before heading to Florida on Sunday.

Demonstrators in cities across the U.S. protested yesterday after President Trump moved to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or #DACA. Attorney General Jeff Sessions confirmed days of speculation that the #Trump administration would end DACA in 6 months, leaving Congress to come up with a legislative solution to replace it. The announcement, fulfilling a campaign pledge of President @realdonaldtrump, immediately threw into question the future of everyone who signed up under the program. Some of the 800,000 young adults brought to the U.S. illegally as children who qualify for DACA will become eligible for deportation. “Am I supposed to plan to reset my life in 6 months?” one graduate student and so-called Dreamer asked. “This isn’t over, and we’re not going to be pushed out of our country.” @heislerphoto photographed a demonstration outside of Trump Tower in New York yesterday.
