Friend,
President Trump is holding thousands of kids in appalling conditions at immigrant detention camps at the border, and the news just keeps getting worse.
Kids forced to sleep on concrete floors and denied soap, toothbrushes, or sufficient food. At least seven children have already died in Trump administration custody.
These are flagrant violations of international law and a moral crisis for the United States. At Common Dreams, we're ramping up our coverage to make sure people can get the facts that Trump doesn't want us to know that the corporate media is too afraid to tell.
Will you rush an urgent donation to help make sure Common Dreams has the resources we need to share the facts about Trump’s migrant border camps?
Last week, a tragic photo of a father and his toddler daughter, both drowned while crossing the border, went viral, shocking people all over the country.
Readers of Common Dreams were horrified, but they weren't surprised.
We've been covering the human impact of Trump's cruel border policies for months -- stories that the corporate media largely ignores, too distracted by Trump's latest tweet, or too afraid of being accused of "liberal bias" to tell the truth. It took major protests and grassroots pressure to get the mainstream corporate media to pay any attention at all.
And when they do cover the issue, the stories are fleeting and too often focused on the impact on the political horse race rather than the human suffering.
Common Dreams is one of the few non-profit and truly independent media outlets that are free to give Americans the full story about Trump's migrant detention camps. We take no corporate advertising or sponsorships. We get no money from the government. We're free and independent because we rely on you, our readers.
With more and more kids and adult asylum-seekers put in danger by the Trump administration's inhumane treatment, we’re redoubling our efforts to shine a bright light on the truth. Will you donate today?
Yes, I'll donate to help make sure Common Dreams can keep reporting on Trump's migrant border camps.
