Community Voices for Immigrant Rights - Call to Action for Lives of Haitian Immigrants! 09/27/2021

With a complete disregard for human rights, the Biden administration has embarked on a cruel campaign to deport or detain thousands of Haitian refugees seeking asylum in the United States. The actions of the Biden administration are especially deplorable as the Haitian refugee crisis is the direct result of a long history of U.S. colonialism and racist foreign policy that has caused political and economic turmoil in Haiti. Haitian refugees are being chased on horseback, treated like animals, and detained under inhumane conditions simply for exercising their right to seek asylum. We must act now to stop these atrocities! Join us as we stand up and demand that the Biden administration: Free Them All! Let In All Asylum Seekers! End the Militarization of the Border and Border Communities!
