In a nation-wide response to President Trump's recently-announced immigration agenda, #ADayWithoutImmigrants was born — a movement aimed at raising awareness for our immigrants who must now fear displacement under Trump's regime. Across the country, businesses that value immigrants' rights supported and encouraged a strike by closing for the day, to bring awareness to their employee's significance and importance in America. Other businesses pledged to donate a portion of their profits made during the day towards charities that support the well-being and rights of immigrants in America.

The movement encouraged many to be involved in marches and public protests to spread optimal awareness with the help of their communities. What's more, thousands of others have taken to social media to add their voices to the cause.

And while thousands of people were able to help out to draw attention to the cause in person, many others turned to Twitter to share their inspirational and encouraging thoughts on the subject. These are some of the most moving tweets on the internet right now. They'll definitely pull on your heart strings and make you proud to stand up for what you believe in:
