On May 10th, the Inter-American Commission for Human Rights officially opened the case of Anastasio Hernandez-Rojas. The widow and family of Anastasio submitted the petition to the Commission in March 2016. The Commission has now accepted the case and has given the U.S. government three months to respond to the very serious allegations of extrajudicial killing, torture, and obstruction of justice.

“We don’t bow down to meanness. We don’t stand down to wrong. We stand up…

We remember who we are. We are the children of Martin, the children of Dorothy Day, the children of Rabbi Abraham Heschel, the children of Mohammed and Moses, Abraham and Sarah, Jesus and Mary, Harriet and Sojourner, and Rosa and Fannie Lou. Standing down is not an option. Not now. Not when so much is at stake.”

-Rev. Dr. William J. Barber

Congress is wrapping up negotiations on a funding bill that needs to be passed by this Friday, April 28, 2017. We are deeply concerned that this might include funding for ​new Border Patrol or ICE agents, new detention beds and new border barriers​.
