We're calling on Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano to immediately release Michel Mendy (A087 585 470). We will not be a party to continued violence towards this young man who has contributed so much and who has suffered enough.
Why is this important?
The voice of the people might be the only thing standing between a young artist from West Africa and arrest and violence. Michel Mendy is gay and from Senegal, where it is illegal to be gay and where the U.S. State Department has noted widespread violence against LGBT people. Help save Michel Mendy from legalized bigotry.
