Jason,

This isn't a fundraising email, and we're not writing to you about tonight's FEC deadline either. But it's one of the most important emails you'll receive today.

At the Clint Border Facility in Clint, TX — just outside of El Paso — more than 100 children are being detained in conditions so unsafe and inhumane that it's being called "a public health crisis." Children caring for other children, sleeping on concrete floors, and lacking the most basic care and supplies like toothbrushes, soap, or beds. This is happening, right now, in our nation's name and under our government's watch.

Conventional wisdom tells us that today we should be hosting big fundraising events and making phone calls to donors. But this is a human rights crisis that demands immediate action. These children deserve respect, dignity, and humane living conditions. Moving them out of these facilities quickly, providing them adequate shelter and support, and uniting them with family members should be this administration's immediate priority.

That's why Beto just held a rally outside of the facility with political leaders and activists from all over the country to demand that this mistreatment of children — as well as the separating of families and indefinite detainment of immigrants — immediately end.

We're asking you to make a donation — not to our campaign, but to the Diocesan Migrant & Refugee Services of El Paso. They're an incredible organization that provides legal services for adults and unaccompanied immigrant children in the local immigration detention centers and shelters. 100% of your contribution will go to them.

Last year, on Father's Day, Beto led a march to raise awareness about the mistreatment and detention of children at the Tornillo facility in El Paso, where thousands of migrants were being detained. He continued to return to the camp until all of the children were successfully released and the facility was shut down.

This crisis in Clint, TX demands our attention now. And as the current administration launches cruel attack after cruel attack upon immigrants, asylum seekers, and children, we must continue to fight.

Thank you,

Team Beto
