John,

Yesterday, the Trump administration opened another front in the war on immigrants by ending asylum protection for vulnerable Central American families attempting to find safety in the U.S. 

These are not hardened criminals as Trump would have you believe. They are fathers and mothers trying to create a better life for their families, and risking everything to flee violent, dictatorial regimes.

We cannot let this heartless, un-American policy stand. Sign onto our emergency petition demanding Trump reverse course and keep asylum protections in place.

Under Trump’s new decree, legitimate claims of asylum will go unheard and innocent families will be sent back to the violence they fought so hard to escape. We cannot allow this Administration to continue using immigrants as pawns in their political shell game.

In Congress, we’re fighting Trump’s inhumane policy with everything we’ve got, but we need your help to amplify our message. Let’s return this country to the image of hope and opportunity that has inspired so many around the world. 

Sign our petition at DonnaShalala.com/asylum and make your voice heard!

Thank you.

Donna
