Dear Friend,

The administration has been relentless in its attack on asylum and has increasingly used COVID as a pretext for ignoring asylum law. Most recently, DHS and DOJ issued a proposed rule that would prevent children and adults from accessing asylum simply for traveling through another country where COVID is present. Not surprisingly, the administration’s proposed rule contains no exceptions for children and will return them to traffickers, persecutors, and abusers. Though the rule is issued in the name of "public health," public health experts agree ([link removed]) that it has no evidence-based justification.

Our supporters can have an impact on whether this proposed rule becomes official by submitting comments opposing it. Every unique comment must be considered before the rule takes effect, which means that your input today will protect children who come to our borders asking for protection. We've put together a template and all the information y ([link removed]) ou need to submit a comment here ([link removed]) . The deadline to make your voice heard is Monday,
August 10 at 11:59pm ET.
TAKE ACTION NOW ([link removed])

Thank you for taking a stand,
Jennifer Nagda
Policy Director
