President-elect Biden, #SaveAsylum! Wednesday, December 2 at 11:00 am MST
You're invited to join the #SaveAsylum coalition -- virtually or in person -- at the next gathering with asylum-seekers in Nogales, as they seize this moment to remind the Biden/Harris Administration of the commitments their campaign platform made to restore access to asylum.
Asylum-seekers in Nogales, Sonora and other border communities have collaborated to prepare a letter that details steps that the Biden administration can take to ensure asylum seekers’ safety, and to uphold human rights and due-process. The letter will be unveiled as a large poster at the event, and later will be distributed in a follow-up email for individual and organizations to sign on. This is the time to keep up momentum towards repairing border injustices, through centering these creative voices of asylum seekers!
In person: Nogales Arizona and Sonora In Sonora, asylum-seekers will meet at Plaza de las Golondrinas, and march a short distance along the border wall, to meet up with supporters gathered on the Arizona side, just west of the DeConcini port of entry. Participants will share the petition letter and hear more testimonies from those who have been forced to wait so long for access to asylum.
