• Tell Wayfair to stop profiting from migrant detention centers
    We agree with the demands of the WayFair Walkout: -Cease all current and future business with BCFS and other contractors participating in the operation of migrant detention camps at our Southern border (or any other location).

  • Dem candidates: Visit the Homestead child detention center this week while you're in Miami for th...
    After visiting the Homestead Child Detention Center last week, I was horrified by the overcrowding and prison like conditions. The U.S. government is currently holding thousands of child migrants, many of whom have been separated from their families by U.S. immigration officials in Homestead. Most have fled violence and poverty in Central America and are seeking asylum in the United States. Instead of being released to family members or other sponsors, many are spending weeks or months in inhumane detention. And because Homestead is an emergency influx center, children are not protected by agreements that ordinarily ensure licensing and other standards are met. US taxpayers are paying a FOR PROFIT company, Comprehensive Health Services (owned by Caliburn) over $750 per DAY per child. It is estimated that the per DAY cost to taxpayers for detaining the children of Homestead is over $2.4 million. We are imploring the Democratic candidates to go to Homestead and see the detention center for themselves. Every day there are witnesses who hold up signs over the fence in support of the children and tell them they are not alone. Can the candidates for president please join them? We must get these children out of detention and into Homes Instead.

    HB0203 creates the "No Representation Without Population Act" to stop the practice of prison gerrymandering. Counting prisoners at their last known address will also help the transition to a productive life for the prisoner. Keeping the integrity of the Census count will keep their home communities accurately represented in the state legislature.

  • Tell Mastercard to stop supporting far right and hate groups
    Despite having the opportunity to fight bigotry and violence at its recent Annual General Meeting, Mastercard has refused to stop working with far right and hate groups like the League of the South, National Policy Institute, Proud Boys, Stormfront, VDare, Identity Evropa, Occidental Dissent, and Radix Journal. These days starting a white supremacist or hate group is as easy as launching any online business. The tech platforms that have enabled so many of us to open up websites and begin selling products and services allow hate groups and extremists to thrive equally within the same ecosystem. These groups have managed to co-opt social media, ecommerce and fintech platforms to financially support criminal activities, including violence and harassment. From donation platforms to online stores, major tech companies are operating at a level of scale that they do not know who their customers are before they grant them access to Mastercard payments. It’s time for Mastercard to face the fact that until they investigate, the company will not know the scope of abuse taking place in their network.

  • No more child abuse by US border patrol
    We do not accept the unethical and despicable treatment of human beings seeking asylum with their families. Family separation and child detention are not solutions. They are atrocities.

  • Hotel Chains: Don't become temporary ICE detention centers
    ICE is still planning to execute raids to deport children and families. Whether it happens in two weeks (per Trump's threat) or in two months, using hotel rooms as temporary jails is a crucial part of this plan, because ICE cannot legally hold children in its adult detention facilities. Hotels should put people over profits and publicly refuse to work with ICE to execute Trump's disgusting attack on immigrant families. We've researched nine hotel chains that run the low-cost properties most likely to be used by ICE and are calling on each of them to publicly commit that they won't participate in the planned raids on families and kids.

  • Soap and toothbrushes for all those being held in cages in detention centers
    Personally affected by the administration’s values. Heck, yes. It’s killing my soul to think there are people who think they have the right to decide that poor or homeless immigrants don’t need to wash or have comfort, and then go home at night to eat a meal prepared with government money and sleep in a bed with sheets, blankets, and pillows. Their monstrous absence of human compassion and empathy makes even their God wince.
