“I didn’t know what I was, and nobody could really tell me what I was.” What does it mean to live without a country? In the United States, stateless people live without passports, citizenship, or legal recognition, navigating life in constant uncertainty. Watch Citizens of Nowhere by Alicia Sully, @wtysl and in association with @UnitedStateless, part of Al Jazeera DigiDocs. ▶️ youtu.be/41Ou5jrPOW0

Ending birthright citizenship would not only violate the US Constitution, it would intensify the unnecessary suffering of people who are stateless because of war, state collapse or govt persecution. @UnitedStateless

As someone who grew up #stateless in the U.S., I know the agony of being unseen by every system. Ending birthright citizenship would create more kids like me — undocumented everywhere. Grateful to @csmonitor for covering this. 🔗csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/20…
What happens if we end birthright citizenship? ⚠️ More stateless people ⚠️ Legal limbo for kids ⚠️ $3,000+ burden on new parents The U.S. risks creating a generation without a country. We need to ring the alarm. 🔗 Read via @csmonitor — link in bio. #Stateless #Protect14A

Birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. The Executive Order is blatantly unconstitutional. The American people oppose the end of birthright citizenship.

No executive order can supersede the U.S. Constitution and over 150 years of settled law. While President Trump may want to take this nation back to a time before all American citizens were treated equally under the law — we will not allow him to do so.

Deepti’s family knows the painful struggle of statelessness. Their story shows the hardship, but her daughters gaining citizenship also highlights what is possible. She is the #NansenAward Regional Winner for Asia and the Pacific.

Everyone has the right to a nationality. Nobody should be made to feel invisible. States need to do more to show their commitment to #EndStatelessness so everyone can say #IBelong.
