Thousands of Haitians arrived at the U.S.-Mexican border to find refuge in America. They could not cross the border safely because the U.S. deployed agents that violently whipped humans trying to enter the “land of the free.” Human rights activists are condemning the agents. The Biden administration is facing backlash over their immigration policy. Here are five ways you can help:
- Educate yourself on what’s happening. Stay informed.
- Spread the word.
- Show up at the polls for state and local elections. HRW points out Haitians are being forced to return to their country due to a policy known as Title 42, “which singles out asylum seekers crossing into the United States at land borders.
- Donate money, food, or clothes to organizations you trust.
- Peaceful protest.
