We all deserve the basic right to seek safety and security. But Republicans and some moderate Democrats are trying to force others to give up on asylum and that right.
We can’t let them.
Anyone coming to our borders for safety should have the right to asylum and seek shelter. Instead, due to Trump’s cruel Title 42 measure to prevent migrants from accessing asylum, many have been pushed into camps facing horrific conditions, being denied their international human rights and delays in processing their cases.
President Biden made the correct call to repeal Title 42 and reinstate the ability for asylum. We need to send the message loud and clear that racism and xenophobia have no place here and the right to asylum should be available to all.
You can act now! Send a letter to your Congressional representatives urging their support for asylum and standing strong for the repeal of Title 42.
