Dear Friend,
This week, MAGA Republicans are holding a vote on The Secure the
Border Act of 2023 — a dangerous piece of legislation
that would have devastating consequences for immigrants, refugees, and
asylum seekers.
Their bill is a political attempt to stoke anti-immigrant
xenophobia and we cannot allow it to pass. Our staff and
leaders are in rapid response mode, working with our champions in
Congress and House Democratic Leadership to educate members of
Congress on the dangers of this bill and urging them to vote no.
Bend the Arc has been fighting against bills like the Secure the
Border Act of 2023 for over a decade, and we’ve seen the
devastating impacts. This particular bill would require
abusive family detention, resume building Trump's racist border wall,
and decimate the legal right to seek asylum.
As Jews and allies, we know the consequences of being denied entry,
scapegoated, and enslaved. Our history emphasizes the importance of
treating everyone with compassion and dignity, regardless of where
they came from or how they arrived here.
Your donation today helps us build a powerful moment of
solidarity to disrupt the fear-mongering stoked by MAGA
Republicans. Together, we can beat harmful legislation like
the Secure the Border Act of 2023, organize progressive leaders into
action, and advocate for a better country for all.
In solidarity, The Bend the Arc team
