This election, call for candidates to support asylum-seekers!

Every year, tens of thousands of people in Central America are forced to flee their homes. Gang violence, corruption, gender-based violence, and food insecurity are leaving some families with no other choice.

At the same time, the Trump administration has taken every imaginable action to try to keep asylum-seekers out, irrespective of whether it is legal, humane, effective, or consistent with our American values.

This is wrong. We all deserve to be treated equally and with dignity and compassion.

This election, Oxfam is asking Americans to demand that candidates rise to the moment and ensure that the United States lives up to our ideals. We demand that all 2020 candidates commit to:

1. Address the root causes of forced migration from Central America, and
2. Treat migrants and asylum-seekers with compassion, offer them help when they need it, and protect their rights.

Sign your name now in support of asylum-seekers.
