John – We’re sending this important message again because it’s too big to miss. Democrats in Congress are joining with Republicans to uphold a racist immigration policy put in place by Donald Trump.
If you haven’t already, add your name right now to tell Congress it’s time to get rid of Title 42. If you already signed, will you forward this email to 5 friends and ask them to sign?
End Title 42 now >> [[link removed]]
Progressives have been pressuring the Biden administration for over a year now to end Title 42.
At the start of the pandemic, Trump enacted this xenophobic policy – using COVID as an excuse – to unilaterally deny asylum claims for people fleeing war, genocide, political repression, and persecution.
Now the Biden administration has finally listened to activists and organizers calling for him to end Title 42 – but a bipartisan coalition has formed in Congress to stop him and keep this racist program in place.
Conservative Democrats have joined with the GOP to threaten to block billions in new COVID relief and prevention unless Title 42 is extended.
Brand New Congress is calling on ALL members of Congress to end Title 42 immediately. Add your name here to end Trump’s racist immigration policy:

Five Democratic Senators – Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, Mark Kelly, Raphael Warnock, and Maggie Hassan – joined Mitch McConnell in a recent bill to uphold Title 42 under certain conditions. Meanwhile, two House Democrats — Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez, who represent border districts in Texas — asked the Biden administration to keep Title 42 in place indefinitely.
Friendly reminder: Henry Cuellar is facing a runoff next month from BNC’s Jessica Cisneros. If you’d like to help BNC retire Henry Cuellar and elect three progressive Senators to stand against the likes of Manchin and Sinema, then pitch in to our GOTV fund now. [[link removed]]
Under the concept of non-refoulement, the 1951 Refugee Convention and its subsequent 1967 Protocol declares a person seeking asylum should not be returned to a country where they face serious threats to their life or freedom.
Shamefully, the United States has used Title 42 to expel more than 1.7 million migrants and asylum seekers in the last two years. Thousands of asylum seekers have been kidnapped, raped, and tortured.
Ending the Title 42 expulsion policy at our border is a critical step in rebuilding our asylum system rooted in human rights and justice.
It is unconscionable for ANY member of Congress to uphold this openly bigoted policy in defiance of our own laws and international agreements.
Brand New Congress is joining a coalition of campaigns and organizations fighting back. Join us and tell Congress to end the Trump-era Title 42 expulsion policy immediately.

It’s time we created an immigration system built on our shared values and common humanity. And that begins with ending Title 42.
In solidarity,
Brand New Congress
