We demand an end to child detention.

We demand that all refugees seeking asylum be granted the due process to do so.

We demand equal protection under the law.

We demand the preservation of human rights.

We demand a termination of the “Remain in Mexico” program, which is putting migrants at high risk for kidnapping, theft, extortion, and abuse. 

We demand an end to family separation.

Our demands are grounded in the most basic religious teachings and guaranteed by the Constitution. If they are not met by July 27, 2019, we will act in accordance with our conscience.
