From Church World Service (http://www.churchworldservice.org):
Join us in a week of action hosted by the Cameroon Advocacy Network (CAN) to win protection for Cameroonians in the United States. As Cameroon faces three separate humanitarian crises affecting nearly all of the country’s regions and ongoing armed conflict continues, safe return to the country is impossible. As many Cameroonians flee the country seeking protection, they are confronting additional unjust and racist treatment in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody warranting numerous formal complaints.
It is vital that the Biden administration urgently designate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Cameroon, end inhumane detention and deportation of Cameroonians, redress harm and establish humanitarian parole for those unjustly deported, provide holistic legal, post-release services so that Cameroonians in the U.S. may thrive, and build international solidarity and center the issues faced by Black migrants. Members of Congress must hold the Biden administration accountable to prioritize the freedom and dignity of our Cameroonian neighbors.
Here are the top ways to take action:
