Dear John,

Crowded conditions. Inadequate basic hygiene. Limited access to medical care and
supplies.

Immigrants and asylum-seekers were already facing enormous threats to their
health and safety. But now, during the COVID-19 pandemic, these threats are
exponentially multiplying.

That’s why Amnesty is ramping up our lifesaving rapid response efforts to
advocate for people at risk — who will no doubt bear the brunt of the COVID-19
crisis — if we allow them to be forgotten.

Please make an emergency donation right now and advocate to ensure that
immigrants and asylum-seekers at our border have access to care and safety at
this critical time. Any amount you can chip in will make an impact.

Our efforts are lifesaving. If exposed to the virus in overcrowded immigration
facilities where rapid contagion can easily occur, detained immigrants and
asylum-seekers will experience severe illness and death.

John, I know it’s an unsettling time for you and
those you love. This global pandemic is impacting all of us around the world in
unthinkable ways. Just imagine how scared and frightened detained immigrants and
asylum-seekers are right now.

If you can, please support our work ensuring that human rights are at the center
of the pandemic response — and that immigrants and asylum-seekers are not
forgotten.

This is a time when we have the opportunity to help end demonization and anger —
and decisively replace it with empathy and kindness.

We will continue to keep you updated on our lifesaving response in the weeks and
months ahead.

In solidarity,


Margaret Huang
