Human rights for all.
Today. Tomorrow.
Always.
The Advocates believes that everyone has the power to demand and defend human rights.
News
Thursday, May 01

Call or write your US Congress to demand they: 

  • OPPOSE handing the President a BLANK CHECK in the budget process while gutting due process. Demand that Congress not support billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund xenophobic, harmful, and shortsighted roundup and deportation schemes-all without due process. What's more, oppose the proposed immigration benefit fees, which will result in exploitation of vulnerable individuals and coercive denial of the right to seek asylum or reunite with family by levying significant fees on immigration benefit applications. Instead, let them know that you want to prioritize funding for healthcare, social security, education, and policies that make our communities stronger rather than sowing fear and tearing them apart.
