Dear MoveOn member,
[ [link removed] ]Will you join the National Organizing Call to stop
Trump's deportation and detention machine this Thursday, August 29 at 7
p.m. ET?
[ [link removed] ]RSVP here to join.
Every week this summer has brought new attacks from Trump against the
rights and safety of immigrant families and communities.
Just last week, the Trump administration announced its intention to detain
families indefinitely, defying a long-standing order on how to treat
children in detention safely and with dignity. This follows unprecedented
workplace raids that tore families apart, new rules designed to make
families fear utilizing safety net programs like SNAP, and rhetoric from
rally stages and Twitter that has fueled racist attacks, including acts of
mass violence.
Trump is continuing to escalate his racist agenda.
But Congress has the power to take action and rein in these abuses—and
that opportunity comes when House and Senate Democrats will play a
critical role in passing a government spending bill by September 30.
That's right: All the Democrats who have expressed outrage can use their
congressional power to force limits, accountability, and spending cuts on
the agencies carrying out human rights abuses against immigrants at the
border and across the U.S.
When our members of Congress get back to D.C. next week to debate the
budget, let's make sure they return with the message that they must call
ICE and CBP to account for their human rights abuses.

organizing call so you can find out how you can take action before your
members of Congress return to the Capitol.
RSVP now to save your spot.

On the call, you'll
* hear our plan to create pressure on members of Congress while they are
home and keep up that pressure when they return to Washington;
* get important info directly from leaders and issue experts from
MoveOn, United We Dream, and the National Immigrant Justice Center on
how we confront and stop Trump's attacks;
* learn more about the cruel strategies of the Trump administration, the
impacts of these policies to immigrant families and communities; and
* most importantly—discover ways that you can take action.
It's crucial that our representatives hear from us now—loudly and
clearly—that they must do everything in their power to rein in ICE and
CBP.
This administration is ruthlessly intent on causing pain to immigrant and
Latino communities. The most immediate action Congress can take to
restrain these out-of-control agencies is by slashing the budgets they use
to fund their cruelty.

how you can deliver a message to your member of Congress to demand real,
concrete action to stop Trump's deportation machine.
RSVP here.
Since Trump assumed office, MoveOn members have consistently shown up to
push back against the worst of his administration's racist policies.
Together, hundreds of thousands of MoveOn members—from all walks of
life—have taken to the streets, called Congress, signed petitions, chipped
in to fund these important fights, and more. We've marched against the
Muslim Ban, rallied against Trump's family separation policy, and acted in
solidarity with Dreamers to pass important legislation that will set up
the eventual passage of the Dream Act in the next administration.
Now, we have just days to make our voices heard before our members of
Congress head back to Washington. Let's join together and stop Trump's
deportation machine.
Thanks for all you do.
