Hi John, today is the first day of the National Week of Action in Support of Black Migrants. I wanted to make sure you saw (and signed!) the National Immigrant Justice Center's (NIJC) joint petition with other organizations demanding that the Biden administration stop deporting people to Haiti.

Join us in launching the National Week of Action in Support of Black Migrants by taking action to HALT deportations to Haiti. Sign the petition: www.immigrantjustice.org/HaltHaitiDeportations

Haiti has been in turmoil for many years and the recent assassination of the Haitian president, political and economic insecurity, devastating storms, and an earthquake have further destabilized the nation.

Yet, Haitians seeking protection in the United States face treacherous journeys, racial abuse, violence from border patrol agents, detention, and deportation and expulsion back to the life-threatening situation they fled in Haiti.

All people—including Haitian migrants and asylum seekers—need freedom, shelter, dignity, and compassionate welcomes.

Take action now --> Sign the petition to demand that the Biden administration HALT all deportations to Haiti: www.immigrantjustice.org/HaltHaitiDeportations

The Biden administration has expelled thousands of people to Haiti in the past few weeks. And they continue to deport and expel even more people.

The Biden administration has the authority to grant humanitarian parole and stop the deportations to Haiti. We at NIJC are teaming up with other organizations to urge them to do just that.

Thank you for taking a stand against cruelty and injustice.
