Hi John,
 
You may have already received an email like this from Color Of Change, but
that's because we don't want you to miss it.
 
As someone invested in the liberation of Black communities, we wanted you
to be aware that as you read this email, Haitian migrants are being
deported back to a country in climate, economic, and political crisis.  
 
There's still time to protect Haitian migrants and other Black immigrants
and migrants across the country.  [ [link removed] ]Chip in $5 today to power our

[ [link removed] ]John, become a Color Of Change supporter & protect Black
migrants at the border today.

John,

We don’t need to show you images that recently surfaced of white Border
Patrol officers on horses chasing, yelling, and whipping Haitian asylum
seekers to tell you how the scenes evoke our country’s not-so-distant past
of slave patrols and public lynchings.

Haitian asylum seekers who have for weeks and months been fleeing toward
what they thought was safety are being terrorized, abused, and then
deported. Others are being sent to Guantanamo Bay, or back to Mexico where
they are targets of organized crime because of the color of their skin.  

John when we say: Black lives matter, we mean ALL Black lives.
Including Haitian asylum seekers at the border. And that is why we need
your support in calling on the Biden Administration to protect Black
migrants.

John, while on the campaign trail, Biden made promises to the
Haitian community to have more fair immigration policies. And yet, he may
soon be responsible for carrying out the largest mass expulsion of
would-be asylum-seekers in recent American history.

Thousands of people, including families and children, will be expelled to
Haiti — a country the Administration itself has described as teetering on
the brink of collapse — the result of centuries of imperialism and foreign
intervention intent on destabilizing the first Black republic. 

In just the past two and a half months, Haiti has seen its president
assassinated and weathered a devastating 7.2 magnitude earthquake, all in
the middle of a pandemic.

John, it’s time to put an end to anti-Black immigration
practices. Seeking asylum is a legal and human right, fundamental to
maintaining democracy. It must extend to Black people.

We can fight to stop deportations and demand a more humanitarian approach
to immigration, but we need your help. [ [link removed] ]Chip in whatever amount you can

John, make no mistake, what’s happening at the border right now
is an extension of white supremacy in the United States.

Every arm of our country’s incarceration and deportation machine bears
down on and disrupts Black people and communities. For decades, Black
migrants have faced disproportionate rates of detention and deportation,
and are 6 times more likely to be placed in solitary confinement within
detention centers. 

The message we’re being told once in again is: Black people are unwelcome
in the United States, and are subject to policing and abuse.

From police to immigration, we cannot and will not tolerate
anti-Blackness. 

Immigration is a Black issue. And we must:

build a more equitable world for Black people, we’re inspired every day by
the empathy and compassion of our community. 

We deeply appreciate all that you do.
