I first met Javier over two weeks ago—he was being held in the same jail cell as a few of us who were arrested during an event in North Carolina. In jail we had the chance to learn more about Javier; we knew right then that we had to help him out.
Take Action: Obama Reunite Javier with his Family
Javier, now 34, came to the U.S. over 10 years ago, he has two children. His wife, Leticia, is 8 months pregnant with his third child. While several of us were being arrested fighting against programs like 287(g), Javier was being pulled over for nothing more than a missing light above his license plate—A ridiculous charge which clearly translates to 'driving while brown.'
Take Action: Bring Javier Home to his Family. http://action.dreamactivist.org/javier/
Now two weeks after we met, Javier has been transferred to a detention center in Georgia. He's far away from his family or anyone that can fight for him. He is being pressured to sign 'voluntary deportation,' being told that he stands no chance of seeing his family. ICE wants him to make it easy for them and leave on his own.
Time is running out for Javier. Will you help us get Javier out of the detention center and back with his family? Right now, we need your help to get 500 signatures of support for Javier and his family. Click here to sign Javier's petition.
Thank you for your help,
