Friend, 

Title 42, a policy implemented by the Trump Administration in 2020 to block migrants from seeking asylum under the pretense of the COVID-19 pandemic, officially ended a couple of weeks ago.   

Life post-Title 42 has been relatively calm at our Southern Border - contrary to predictions pushed by right-wing observers rooting for chaos. 

More importantly, the last week has shown that the U.S. CAN manage this moment, and that we CAN do it in a manner that is both orderly and fair. We have managed an increase in migrants at the border in the past, and while our processing system  is imperfect, we’ve shown we can welcome vulnerable people from Ukraine and other regions facing crisis. 

The next step as asylum seekers are processed and allowed to enter the United States is to welcome them into our communities and support them in rebuilding their lives.

Americans across the country and from all walks of life are already stepping up and becoming part of the solution to our outdated immigration system. They are joining organizations in their local communities and along the U.S - Mexico border that provide shelter, food, medical care, legal assistance and other essential services to help migrants navigate the complex and often daunting immigration process.

Immigrants and their families arriving at our Southern Border are fleeing violence and persecution. They truly do not have another choice. We must welcome them and treat each other with compassion, dignity and respect. 

Do you pledge to welcome them?>>> 

While Congress still needs to act to pass legislation that updates our outdated immigration system, and we must still address the root causes of migration, there are things we can do today to welcome and support migrants.. 

Be a part of the solution. Let’s show that a fair and humane immigration system IS possible. Sign our pledge today>>> 

Thank you for your support, 

Juana
