We must ensure asylum-seeking children and families are treated as human beings, with dignity and respect.

This begins with ending MPP, once and for all. 2/6

We must remember that asylum-seeking children are escaping violence and extreme poverty in their own countries – the same harsh and dangerous conditions often found in the border cities the U.S. government is knowingly and willingly forcing them to wait in. 3/6

Children deserve better from this country, and they must be protected at each step of the asylum process. 4/6

We must reclaim our moral standing and prevent children from becoming exposed to more violence and abuse. 5/6

Seeking asylum is not a crime – as a country, we must do better.

There is no choice but to end this harmful policy.
