On May 11, the Biden Administration will stop exercising its use of Title 42, a harmful policy implemented during COVID-19 that blocked people from a basic right to even apply for asylum and separated families. This created a backlog of people waiting to seek asylum into the U.S. and put thousands upon thousands of people in danger.
Ending Title 42 is the right thing to do to protect asylum seeking families and we have the capacity and ability to welcome those seeking safety within our borders.
We all can help. Humanitarian organizations continue to be on the frontlines of welcoming asylum seekers as this harmful policy winds down. They need our financial support in this moment of need to make sure people have food, shelter, transportation and other urgent needs help keep families together and safe.
