Conoce Tus Derechos (Know Your Rights)

Due to President Trump's actions, there has been an increase of deportation of Illegal immigrants. Not only those coming from Mexico but from other Latin American countries, China, Asia, etc.

You may ask for an interpreter at any point if you need one. Puede pedir un interprete si necesita uno.

The following are your rights inside your home:

Do not open your door. No abres la puerta.

ICE cannot enter your home if they do not have a warrant signed by a judge. Without a warrant, they can only come in if you let them. If they say they have one, have them slip it under the door or show it on the window. If the agents force their way in do not resist, remain silent.

Si los agentes entran con fuerza, no resisten pero queden en silencio. Los officiales de ICE no pueden entrar a su hogar sin un orden de arresto firmado por un juez de la corte criminal. Si les dicen que tienen una orden de arresto, piden que se los ensenen por la ventana o que lo pasen debajo de la puerta.

You have the right to remain silent. Guarda silencio.

You MAY refuse to speak to ICE officials. You do NOT have to say anything to them if you choose not to. Have a family member contact your immigration lawyer as soon as possible.

Tienes el derecho de guardar siliencio. Tenga un miembro de su familia que se puede comunicar con su abogado de immigracion.

Do NOT sign. NO firmes

Do not sign anything the agents give you.

No firmen nada que les de los officials de immigraccion.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
