Sign the petition telling Donald Trump to #closethecamps

The Statue of Liberty declares our country’s most noble dream:

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

And for generations, refugees and asylum-seekers have responded, coming to the United States to escape violence, war, or persecution to build a better life.

Now, the Trump administration is answering their calls for help by herding families into camps and subjecting them to sickening human rights abuses:

• Separation of families;
• Gross neglect and abuse of children, families, and pregnant and nursing mothers;
• Denial of legal representation;
• Inadequate medical care;
• Insufficient food and clean water.

The racism, cruelty, and carelessness of Trump’s camps betray the demands of basic human decency and our country's core values.

Add your name: Tell Donald Trump to close the camps, now!
