There are no words to adequately describe these tragedies, these horrors. No words.

[Guerline M.Jozef @GuerlineMJozef]

Today we pay honor to the Haitian migrants who lost their lives in search of "LIFE" off the coast of Puerto Rico.
11 young women and countless others who were not found.

I'm tired of burying my compatriots

[Katharina Obser @Kat_Obser]

@GuerlineMJozef There aren't enough words to describe these tragedies, these losses, that should never happen. I'm so sorry. Thank you for all that you do to honor and advocate for the lives and dignity of those fleeing harm and seeking safety, @GuerlineMJozef.

Melina Roche, Campaign Manager of @WelcomeWDignity, says she’s reminded of her family when thinking of the impact of #RemainInMexico.

“That could have been me.” #SafeNotStranded #RMXMustGo

.@MelinaRoche⁩ of ⁦@WelcomeWDignity⁩ outside the Supreme Court today, urging us to #WelcomeWithDignity and ensure refugees are #SafeNotStranded

[Katharina Obser @Kat_Obser]

In front of the Supreme Court this morning to say it loud and say it clear—people seeking asylum should be #SafeNotStranded

[Katharina Obser @Kat_Obser]

Powerful letter to @POTUS on T42-"Four decades ago, Congress unanimously committed to welcome those seeking refuge. The previous administration did its best to unravel that commitment; we implore you to ensure that this Administration and Congress do not finish the job for them."

[#WelcomeWithDignity @WelcomeWDignity]

NEW: Leaders from 37 organizations are urging @POTUS to oppose efforts to keep Title 42 in place and keep his promise to welcome those seeking safety.

[Katharina Obser @Kat_Obser]

Exactly this 👇

[Katharina Obser @Kat_Obser]

Exactly right. We know what needs to be done to make sure we have an orderly asylum system that also welcomes with dignity. Now let's make sure it happens. Grateful for my @wrcommission colleagues and our partners @humanrights1st for this new resource.

[Robyn Barnard @robynyakira]

@wrcommission + @humanrights1st clear steps that @POTUS @SecMayorkas can take immediately to welcome asylum seekers in an orderly, efficient, & humane way. We have the plans, we can do hard things. See here: https://t.co/DFTxKVj83x

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

If someone tells you Title 42 "works," point them at this.

[Katharina Obser @Kat_Obser]

Finally - finally! - a commitment from the Biden admin to do the right thing. This is good news. Now we need to ensure that not one more person is sent back to harm - and ensure we build the fair and humane asylum system we know is possible. #WelcomeWithDignity #EndTitle42

[Melina Roche 🥥🌴 @MelinaRoche]

It’s true.

@WelcomeWDignity was set up to work with local and national partners and @POTUS to ensure all seeking safety have access to a fair, orderly, and humane asylum system.

We stand ready.

Thinking about all of the misery and heartbreak of all of the detained people I’ve worked with at Etowah over these years. Beatings, lack of food, no chance to see the sun for years. Glad to hear of this closure, which is a long time coming. https://t.co/uyckBtF4CS
