ACLU Supporter, our values are on the line in the Senate.

Right now, our representatives in Congress are considering a deal that would eviscerate long-standing asylum protections, vastly expand immigration detention and surveillance, and leave countless people at risk.

Our immigration system needs to be modernized to address the challenges at the border – but adopting variations of the Trump administration's playbook will only create more suffering and chaos at our border and goes against everything our country was built on.

If our legislators truly want to represent us, they cannot allow this shameful deal to pass. Tell your senators: Reject this violent anti-immigrant bill now.

Those seeking safety at the border should have a fair chance to make their case for asylum.

We should be working to support border communities and pass humane policies to address the immigration case backlog – not destroying the already-insufficient structures we have to protect people seeking asylum.

Maintaining our country's historic commitment to protect people seeking safety is a non-negotiable – and these values should have never been put on the table in the first place.

Our representatives need to know that their constituents are watching – and are ready to hold them accountable. Join us now in sending a clear message that the Senate must reject this harmful and immoral legislation.

Thanks for all you do,
