U.S (Color Of Change) : Immigration is a Black Issue. Join us in Protecting Black Migrants !

 

 

 

 

Dear friend, become a Color Of Change supporter & protect Black migrants at the border today.           Friend,       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.     Friend 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.            MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO PROTECT BLACK MIGRANTS TODAY!           Friend, 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.   Friend, 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. Chip in whatever amount you can today to help Color Of Change continue our campaigns to protect Black migrants.                           Dear friend, 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 : PROTECT BLACK MIGRANTS           Before signing off, know this : Although we have a long road ahead of us to 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.   Until justice is real,         Scott, Rashad, Arisha, Malachi, Erika, Megan, Ernie, Palika, Madison, Ariel, Trevor, Ana, McKayla, and the rest of the Color Of Change team.           CHIP IN TO TO HELP ENSURE ASYLUM FOR BLACK MIGRANTS
