From Amnesty International USA (http://www.amnestyusa.org):
The world is a radically different place than it was just a few weeks ago. But one thing hasn’t changed — and that’s our commitment to human rights.
We know you care too. That’s why we’re writing with an important and impactful action you can take — right now, from home.
BREAKING NEWS: A detainee in ICE custody has already tested positive for COVID-19.
Add your name at https://act.amnestyusa.org/page/57799/action/1 — help advocate to ensure that immigrants and asylum-seekers locked up in crowded detention facilities have access to care and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Take immediate action right now.
Conditions in immigration detention are well-documented to have substandard medical care, inadequate basic hygiene, and overcrowding. People are crammed together into prison-like cells.
Immigrants and asylum-seekers were already facing enormous threats to their health and safety. But now — during the COVID-19 pandemic — these threats are exponentially multiplying and we must ensure they are not forgotten.
Please take action right now. It will only take one minute and it could save hundreds, if not thousands, of lives.
Thank you for standing with us during these unprecedented times.
