Dear Mr. Benioff, In solidarity with the thousands of undocumented immigrants who live in fear for their lives everyday, we, students at Stanford, pledge to refrain from interviewing with Salesforce until it fully withdraws from its contract with Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) to modernize its staff recruiting process, manage border activities, and engage with citizens. Your support for San Francisco’s homeless funding measure, Prop C, while helpful to the thousands of unhoused people in San Francisco, does not exculpate you from the harm your company continues to inflict on undocumented immigrants by hiring more Border Patrol agents. Advocacy organizations like Mijente and RAICES--led by and serving undocumented people--have explicitly and consistently asked you to cancel this contract and you have refused, citing that none of this technology enables the separation of families. Unfortunately, family separation has been a hallmark outcome of this deportation machine for years. You have prided yourself on “disrupting” social good in the tech world. Providing this software to CBP is not “disrupting” anyone’s world except those risking their lives to escape violence. What if instead of guns and your software, Border Patrol agents were armed with food and water for migrants making the trek to seek asylum? And what if instead of providing the software to CBP you opened an office in Honduras and employed people there? We are asking you to draw a line in the sand for the ethics of technology, where the racist head of our country cannot. Come to the right side of history and cancel the contract.

The Trump Administration is seeking billions of dollars for the southern border wall, border technology, and more agents. Each of these asks is unacceptable. The wall is a hateful symbol of exclusion, and coupled with increased technology, will further militarize and surveil border communities. CBP agents and officers are at the front lines of Trump’s aggressive family separation policy and operate with little to no accountability for the abuses and terror that they inflict upon those arriving to our border and those that live in border communities. ICE detains hundreds of thousands of immigrants behind bars every year. This oppressive, inhumane and deadly system of detention continues to grow bigger, less transparent and less accountable. ICE continues to overspend their appropriated funds while counting on bailouts from Congress. All the while they are expanding detention and becoming increasingly secretive about their work. Hunger strikes, reports of physical and sexual abuse, and retaliation against those that speak out highlight the worsening conditions and opposition to treating immigrants with dignity. CBP and ICE have shown that more funding leads to more harm. Increasing funding to either of these agencies is unworthy of discussion. We demand that you stop the growth of the harmful detention and deportation machine and support significant cuts to ICE and CBP.

Donald Trump likes to use inciting, incendiary language to target his political opponents. There are "criminals and unknown Middle Easterners mixed in" with an approaching migrant caravan, he tweeted, and they'd "better be stopped." This kind of language has already led to horror. Last week, a fan of Donald Trump and Fox News sent out a series of pipe bombs targeting political and philanthropic leaders for assassination. The most vicious and lethal anti-Semitic hate crime in American history was carried out at a Pittsburgh synagogue, by a shooter ranting about the migrant caravan. Instead of bringing the country together, Donald Trump has responded by throwing a match on the kindling. Again. Rather than tamping down on racial polarization and hate speech, Donald Trump is doubling down — pointing fingers, stoking fears, and inflaming passions. Tomorrow night, he will give a speech cracking down on the border and demagoguing against migrants seeking a safer place to live. There are already extremist groups talking about meeting the migrants on the border with guns and violence. This speech will push our country further toward the brink. Please tell Donald Trump: CANCEL this speech. A small group of refugees fleeing instability in Central America does not represent an existential threat to us, the strongest nation on earth. But forces of division, hatred, and violence might.

ICE should not be tipped off in this manner by complicit hotels, much less gathering personal, private information in such a backhanded, unscrupulous manner.

This is a non-partisan issue to redistribute the power to determine the Refugee Admissions Ceiling in the United States. As of July 19, 2018 there are 68.5 million forcibly displaced people around the globe, 25.4 million of which are refugees and 3.1 million of which are asylum-seekers. Ever since the Refugee Act of 1980, the Executive Branch has been required to set a limit on the number of refugees admitted into the country, however, with out any checks from either the Legislative or Judicial branch, the Executive Branch has an imbalance of power in determining this limit. This coming year, as refugee rates are growing, an unprecedentedly low 30,000 person limit has been proposed--34,000 people less than the average limit over the last 5 years. We must redistribute this power to create a more balanced process by which the Refugee Admissions Ceiling is determined.

For federal employee retirees who are victims of a natural disaster or other hardship, and are prohibited from hardship withdrawals from their TSP because of current regulations. I and my family are victims of Hurricane Florence and have been rejected for FEMA aid, and a government SBA loan would only add to my current debt situation. I am a retired veteran.

OUR VETERANS WITH HONORABLE DISCHARGE AND WITH/WITHOUT SERVICE CONNECTED SERVICE ARE BEING DEPORTED, THEIR FAMILIES SEVERED AND VETERANS ADMINISTRATION BENEFITS STRIPPED AWAY. THIS DESERVES OUR ATTENTION BECAUSE IT AFFECTS ALL VETERANS WITH MEDICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ALL THE SAME. THIS IS TO PETITION ON BEHALF OF http://www.deportedveteranssupporthouse.org/

Thousands of migrant children are being detained in detention facilities in the United States. These children were either ripped away from their families or were by themselves when they were trying to come to this country for a better life. Children do not deserve to be treated like this and everyone deserves a chance to come to this country to have a better life.

How can Americans stand by, day by day while young unaccompanied children are living in cages & tents (surrounded by strangers instead of family) by our Federal government who has no plan for re-unification with their parents. These children will never be the same. Close down these horrible kid-prisons and re-unite them NOW!!

Trump wants to put up a wall for no other reason than not wanting immigrants to get in. A american "husband" killed his wife who was pregnant with her child, and his two kids that were children. One immigrant kid naps and kills someone and suddenly immigrants are the issue.

The Trump administration just announced that they plan to end the "Flores Agreement"—the rules that make sure kids can't be jailed for more than 20 days while being held in detention. Without Flores, kids could be jailed in awful conditions for even longer. The Flores Agreement is a vital part of treating everyone in this country like a human being—it sets limits on jailtime and conditions for children. We reject this change and any attempt to modify the rules to keep children in detention longer, or in worse conditions. This change would make the "zero humanity" immigration policies even crueler, further punishing children and their families for fleeing violence. Tell the Trump administration, DHS, and HHS: No kids should be held in jail. Don’t overturn the Flores Agreement.

Bank of America is freezing and closing bank accounts of people whose citizenship they question, taking people's assets away, throwing their finances into turmoil and injecting fear into the lives of these families and communities. We, the undersigned, demand that Bank of America immediately stop their practice of harassing and harming their customers on the basis of supposed immigration status. American communities and marketplaces are the gold standard all over the world because they are supported by the police, fire, transportation, safety, economic and educational infrastructure that are paid for by ALL of us, and are open to ALL without discrimination on the basis of bias against one's race, nationality, sex, religion, disability, age and (in many states) sexual orientation or gender identity. Bank of America is hurting the individuals they targeted and also damaging the economic foundations of our very quality of life with their profoundly troubling actions reported this week. Individuals, businesses and organizations are encouraged to close their accounts with Bank of America in an economic boycott. Show Bank of America that we won't stand for policies that amount to racist attacks on their own customers. We won't patronize businesses that fuel xenophobia and anti-immigrant terror. Close your accounts. Let Bank of America know exactly why.
