We’re organizing a nationwide fundraiser this weekend\u2014June 22nd-24th 2018\u2014to support the\u00a0Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project<\/a>\u00a0(ASAP), working to connect refugee families in America to community support and legal aid. Like so many Americans, we are horrified by the Trump Administration’s attempted\u00a0“zero tolerance” policy<\/a> of separating families entering the United States as asylum seekers and refugees. The result\u2014literal concentration camps<\/a> for children\u2014is offensive to all moral people.<\/p>\n Immigration policy is a huge, multifaceted, complex generational issue, and no previous administration has been perfect on it.\u00a0At 12pm today current US President Donald Trump\u2014in the face of overwhelming outrage from prominent members of both<\/a> political<\/a> parties, all 5 living First Ladies<\/a>, former top federal prosecutors<\/a> in the Department of Justice, and countless other Americans of every political, social and cultural background\u2014signed\u00a0a face-saving emergency decree<\/a> to temporarily halt family separation at the border. But the human rights catastrophe continues, as thousands of families look for resources and accurate information for the steps post-detention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Fortunately there are advocacy groups stepping up to help. We\u2019re calling on coffee companies and coffee drinkers alike nationwide to join us in raising funds for ASAP<\/a>, a group fighting for refugee rights at the US border and resource distribution at the ground level. We\u2019re calling the effort \u201cCoffee For Families.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n ASAP\u2019s project work includes providing resources and accurate information to detained individuals, working to reunite mothers with their children post-detainment, and filing lawsuits in federal court against ICE on behalf of individual clients. This weekend\u2019s charitable action will go directly towards funding this meaningful work being done by the team at ASAP, just one of several laudable organizations fighting for refugee rights, including RAICES<\/a>\u00a0and our bi-annual Night of 1000 Pours partners at the American Civil Liberties Union.<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Coffee For Families Launch Partners:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bird Rock Coffee Roasters<\/a> \u2014 San Diego, CA (3 locations)<\/p>\n Blacksmith<\/a> \u2014 Houston, TX<\/p>\n Blue Bottle Coffee<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, Washington DC, Miami, Boston (multiple locations)<\/p>\n Coral Sword<\/a> \u2014 Houston, TX<\/p>\n Cultivar Coffee<\/a> \u2014 Dallas and Denton, TX (3 locations)<\/p>\n Dichotomy Coffee & Spirits<\/a> \u2014 Waco, TX<\/p>\n Either \/ Or<\/a> \u2014 Portland, OR (2 locations)<\/p>\n Everyman Espresso<\/a> \u2014 Manhattan and Brooklyn, NYC (3 locations)<\/p>\n Evocation Coffee<\/a> \u2014 Amarillo, TX<\/p>\n Four Letter Word<\/a> \u2014 Chicago<\/p>\n Gimme!

Romero summed up the moment<\/a> today eloquently:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe devil is in the details. This crisis will not abate until each and every single child is reunited with his or her parent. An eleventh-hour executive order doesn\u2019t fix the calamitous harm done to thousands of children and their parents. This executive order would replace one crisis for another. Children don\u2019t belong in jail at all, even with their parents, under any set of circumstances. If the president thinks placing families in jail indefinitely is what people have been asking for, he is grossly mistaken.\u201d \u00a0\u2014 Anthony D.
