June is Pride and Immigrant Heritage Month, and we're fundraising to help LGBTQ+ asylum seekers access legal and social services. Everyone deserves the chance to live openly, safely, and with dignity. In the face of attacks attempting to erase us, we choose Pride. Donate at bit.ly/oasis-pride

Si eres un inmigrante que solicita asilo y estás tramitando tu solicitud ante los tribunales, o intentas legalizar tu situación de otra manera, aquí tienes algunos recordatorios importantes. missionlocal.org/2026/06/san-...

Meet the new Oasis. 🌈 Our logo is still a bird, but it is also an outstretched hand, offering safety, resources and community. 🫂 Queerness is still at the forefront. Not only in color, but in mission, language, and the lives we stand beside. Welcome to the next chapter. 🌿

Our original logo was lovingly created as a fictional bird, inspired by a dove, a phoenix, and even a hummingbird. The Oasis bird represents migration. Freedom of flight. Rebirth. We’re keeping that spirit. But as Oasis grows, so does the story we tell.

Oasis is growing. As our programs expand and our advocacy deepens, we’ve invested in a more comprehensive brand identity that reflects who we are today and where we’re going. This is more than a logo refresh. It’s how our values, growth, and impact are expressed. Stay with us this week. 🌿

Navigating one of the most complex legal systems in the world without a lawyer is NOT due process. Having a lawyer makes someone 5x more likely to win their case. AB 2600 introduced by @asmmiabonta.bsky.social would expand access to legal representation for people facing deportation in California.

Woah. @asmmiabonta.bsky.social just introduced AB 2600, and it's huge! This bill would better guarantee legal representation to people facing deportation in California, because "represent yourself in one of the most complex legal systems in the world" is not due process.

Immigrants face mounting barriers to fair hearings—from political pressure to fighting their cases from detention. Yet, one factor consistently shapes outcomes: having a lawyer. Our new report shows that represented immigrants fare far better, even in a system stacked against them. Read more ⬇️

🚨NEW LAWSUIT: In case you hadn't heard, we're taking the Trump-Vance Admin to court over its illegal PSLF rule. The rule lets ED disqualify govt & nonprofit employers they disagree w/politically–it's aimed at silencing dissent. We're fighting back! protectborrowers.org/cities-worke...

To the Trump-Vance admin, on behalf of over a dozen cities, labor unions, and nonprofit orgs – we will see you in court.

No one – including children – should face deportation in court alone. @AsmMiaBonta bill AB 1261 expands access to a lawyer for unaccompanied children to defend their rights in court. @CAgovernor - Protect children from Trump's mass deportations and sign AB 1261 into law!

No one - including children - should face deportation alone. Call @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social TODAY and urge him to sign @asmmiabonta.bsky.social’s bill, AB 1261, to expand access to lawyers for children facing deportation, alone, in immigration court against ICE prosecutors.

No matter who is president, everyone living in the U.S. has certain basic rights under the U.S. Constitution – regardless of immigration status. Understanding and asserting our rights is a powerful way that we can protect ourselves and our communities.

Bajo la Constitución de los Estados Unidos, todos tenemos ciertos derechos básicos, independientemente de nuestra situación migratoria.
