Did you hear about Cori’s letter to President Joe Biden?
On Wednesday, Cori and Senator Cory Booker led a group of Democrats urging Biden to address the “disparate and often inhumane treatment” of Black migrants by our immigration enforcement system.
The unfortunate truth is that Black migrants are deported twice as often and face inhumane, violent treatment at our border. We witnessed this last fall after the Biden administration green-lighted mass deportations of asylum-seeking Haitians despite the ongoing crisis in their country.
That’s why Cori is leading House Members in the call for the Biden administration to review the disparate treatment of Black migrants and reverse anti-Black policies like Title 42 expulsions. Title 42, which allows the federal government to bar non-citizens entry into the US for health reasons, was dusted off and put in place by the Trump administration.
It is unacceptable for the Biden administration to continue to use this policy.
We came here to Congress to save Black lives and livelihoods, and that’s what we’re going to do. So in honor of Black History Month, we want to make it loud and clear that it’s time for action.
It’s time for reparations. It’s time to remove white supremacists from our government. It’s time we address the health disparities Black mothers, pregnant people, and children face. It’s time we end the cycle of police violence and systemic racism that pervades our communities. It’s time to address the disparate and inhumane treatment of Black migrants.
Cori is proud to lead this work toward this future — not only during Black History Month — but every day of the year. Will you chip in $5 or anything you can today to support Cori as she leads our movement to save and honor Black lives?
Together,
Team Cori
