[ [link removed] ]close the camps!
PFAW Member,
You’ve likely been shocked and outraged by the endless reports of human
rights abuses against migrants in detention camps along the border … the
family separations … the abhorrent treatment of children … and the deaths
of people – including children – in CBP and ICE custody.
TODAY (7/2), while members of Congress are home for the Fourth of July
holiday, we’re joining with partner organizations and thousands of
Americans nationwide to rally outside congressional district offices and
demand action on this urgent humanitarian crisis.
[ [link removed] ]Hundreds of rallies have already been scheduled. Find an event near you
now to demand the government #CloseTheCamps>>
During Trump’s presidential campaign and since his 2016 election, he has
repeatedly outlined his xenophobic plans to target immigrants and narrow
the rights of those in need of humanitarian aid. Over the past several
months as more reports have surfaced about the conditions in which
immigrants are detained at the border, it has become clear that the
policies he has implemented are even more horrific than his rhetoric.
Immigrants in CBP and ICE custody have had to endure family separation,
illegal denials of asylum hearings, untreated medical conditions, and
more. Recent accounts from members of Congress who have visited border
facilities indicate that detained immigrants and asylum seekers are being
held in overcrowded cells, forced to sleep on concrete floors, and even
have to drink from toilets when they are denied running water.
This is NOT our American Way. And we cannot stand by while these abuses
are committed in our name.
The humanitarian crisis at the border is not going to stop until we demand
that the administration #CloseTheCamps!
[ [link removed] ]Gather with us today across the country to speak out against these
atrocities – find the event nearest you (or even create your own!!)>>
Thank you for everything you do.
