350 Wenatchee Climate Conversations NCW

Family,

We’re reaching out today because Black immigrants require our urgent, collective support.

If you’ve seen the images from Haiti this week, you know our family there is in the streets facing violence for protesting an authoritarian government. Adding to this crisis, the Biden administration is deporting an estimated 1,800 Haitian immigrants this month, including hundreds of children and infants.

It’s unacceptable for the U.S. government to deport already vulnerable Black immigrants – from Haiti, Cameroon, and Mauritania – and force them into dangerous political conditions.

We’re celebrating Black lives and Black futures all month – and every day – and TODAY we need your help to protect all of our Black family.

During Black Immigrant Advocacy Week of Action, Black immigrant advocates across the M4BL ecosystem are calling on the Biden administration to recognize and address systemic anti-Black racism in how the government treats immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. #Act4BlackImms

Here are FIVE actions you can take today to defend Black immigrants:

• Raise awareness on social media using these sample tweets:
  • During Black Immigrant Advocacy Week of Action, we call on the #Biden administration to immediately end the detention & deportation of Black immigrants! @POTUS has promised to address systemic racism in the U.S. – immigration MUST be included. #Act4BlackImms
  • Black immigrants are more likely to be detained and deported than any other immigrant group. We must #Act4BlackImms and end mass incarceration now! @DHS_Secretary @DHSgov #DefendAsylum #BlackLivesMatter
  • 40,000 Cameroonians in the U.S. are at risk of deportation to multiple ongoing conflicts in Cameroon. #TPS would safeguard people and keep families united. @DHS_Secretary must designate #CameroonTPS Now! #Act4BlackImms
• Hear stories from Haitian women immigrants during today’s event with @HaitianBridge on Facebook at 5:30pm ET.
• Act for immigrants from Mauritania, sign onto a letter calling for their protected status. Learn more about why immigrants from Cameroon also require protected status.
• Donate to the Black Immigrant Bail Fund in their mission to eradicate the mass incarceration of Black immigrants.
• Follow and support these Black immigrant advocates and organizers: @HaitianBridge@UndocuBlack @OfficialBLMP @BAJITweet.

Take action to defend ALL of our Black family,
