John,

It’s been one of those weeks that makes you say WTF, and not just because
Trump tweeted about being “the chosen one” and “king of Israel” after
making extremely anti-semitic comments calling more than 70% of the
American Jewish population “disloyal” for supporting Democrats.

He and his administration are doubling down on their attacks against
immigrants and people of color, in a truly scary way. I’m not exaggerating
when I say these are acts of evil:

 1. We already know the administration has been going against a court
order and continuing to separate migrant families and even breaking
the law by detaining them for more than the legal maximum of 20 days.
Now, they’re proposing to change the rules so they can legally detain
children and families INDEFINITELY.
 2. Despite the rampant spread of illnesses in this administration’s
concentration camps and the deaths of three migrant children who had
the flu while detained, Customs and Border Patrol is defying the
medical community’s warnings and refusing to give flu vaccines to
children and adults in detention centers.
 3. Trump took to the White House lawn yesterday to tell reporters he
thinks the Constitutional right to citizenship granted to anyone born
in the United States is “frankly ridiculous,” and he wants to get rid
of birthright citizenship.

There’s no question anymore John: Trump and his administration
are purposefully persecuting and harming immigrants and people of color,
regardless of their citizenship status or the rule of law.

We cannot stand idly by while this bigoted, egotistical fascist moves our
country down this dark, dangerous path we’ve seen repeated throughout
history. We cannot let more people die by the hands of our government. We
cannot let Trump do away with the Constitution and our democratic norms to
fulfill his sick agenda.

DFA's multi-year, multi-million dollar campaign -- leveraging just shy of
$10 million a cycle -- is supporting local, state, and federal races
across the country in 2019 and 2020, so we can successfully do what it
takes to remove this reckless racist from public office along with every
Republican who enables him. We can't do it without you. Will you rush an
urgent contribution of
$5 or more
to power our efforts?

This is a point in history in which we cannot afford silence or inaction.
The time to stand up, speak out, and vote out those who are persecuting
people and destroying our democracy is now.

In solidarity,

-Charles
