URGENT ACTION to release asylum seekers

Call your representative to demand the release of asylum seekers from detention. Unlike many other countries, the US puts people in prison when they come to the border seeking safety. Now these crowded prisons could lead to disease and the deaths of thousands of people waiting to be processed by Immigration. This is an injustice! Take the following steps to do your part:

1. Contact your representative. Find your representative and their contact info here:
https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

2. Tell them *detaining asylum-seekers, especially in the midst of a pandemic, violates human rights.*

3. Ask them to call the ICE Field Director Gregory J. Archambeault and request the release of all detained asylum-seekers.

4. Share this page with your network so they can do the same. The more people stand up to this, the more likely we will be heard.

Stay tuned for further action steps as we work together to stop this injustice!
