John,

We won. After years of fighting, hundreds of thousands of petition
signatures, and in-person actions, Greyhound finally agreed to no longer
allow Border Patrol to indiscriminately board its buses in order to
racially profile passengers without a warrant.^1 In 2020, people shouldn’t
have to carry passes or ‘freedom papers’ in order to travel without fear
of arrest. Greyhound plans to formally notify the Department of Homeland
Security they will no longer allow unwarranted searches on its buses or in
public areas of terminals. 

Greyhound’s decision to prohibit warrantless searches will make a huge
impact on Black and Latinx families. By blocking Border Patrol from
conducting unwarranted searches, Greyhound will be protecting thousands
Black, Latinx, and immigrant families, who, thanks to this decision, will
no longer have to face undue profiling and harassment from Immigrant and
Customs Enforcement agents while traveling in this country. 

Thank you, John, for fighting with us. Because of your help,
we’ve been able to stop a major enabler who’s been aiding in Trump’s
deportation machine. But there are still many companies enabling Trump's
deportation machine, including Netflix and the Boy Scouts. We must
continue to hold accountable companies like Netflix, whose reality shows
whitewash Border Patrol’s brutality, and the Boy Scouts, who partners with
Border Patrol to groom teenagers to become future agents. We need your
support to continue these fights! [ [link removed] ]Chip in $5 to ensure that we’re able
to continue holding corporations like Greyhound, Netflix, and the Boy
Scouts of America accountable for their role in the deportation pipeline.
