Uphold the reproductive rights and health of migrants

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) detention facilities – notorious for medical neglect and degrading conditions – aren't safe for anyone, let alone pregnant, nursing, and postpartum people or infants. Yet families in CBP custody are put in life-threatening situations every day. In one case, a mother was forced to give birth holding on to a garbage can, and later she and her newborn spent the night in a freezing cold cell.

This egregious treatment must end and you can take action to make sure that happens: Send a message to CBP today demanding that pregnant, postpartum, and nursing persons and infants must be released as soon as possible – so they can access the safe reproductive health care they need.

Your Message

Subject Uphold the reproductive rights and health of migrants

With limited access to medical care and inadequate conditions, CBP facilities are a life-threatening risk to pregnant, nursing, and postpartum people and their infants. I’m calling on you to immediately issue new guidance that ensures this population can be released as soon as possible to their networks of care in the United States. Each day that passes without such a policy places more families at risk.

Message Body

The only way to ensure migrants receive the reproductive care they need is for CBP to release them to their networks of care while they pursue their immigration cases. Please do so for the safety and dignity of this vulnerable population now.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate Salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
