Update #4 June 22nd: Many more brands have been added to the complete list and map below, and several of these promotions are live as of today.ย 

Over the last 24 hours, more brands large and small have joined this effort across the United States and even in the UK! Join us and register to raise funds for ASAP this weekend!

We’re organizing a nationwide fundraiser this weekendโ€”June 22nd-24th 2018โ€”to support theย Asylum Seeker Advocacy Projectย (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 attemptedย “zero tolerance” policy of separating families entering the United States as asylum seekers and refugees. The resultโ€”literal concentration camps for childrenโ€”is offensive to all moral people.

Immigration policy is a huge, multifaceted, complex generational issue, and no previous administration has been perfect on it.ย At 12pm today current US President Donald Trumpโ€”in the face of overwhelming outrage from prominent members of both political parties, all 5 living First Ladies, former top federal prosecutors in the Department of Justice, and countless other Americans of every political, social and cultural backgroundโ€”signedย a face-saving emergency decree 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.ย 

Fortunately there are advocacy groups stepping up to help. Weโ€™re calling on coffee companies and coffee drinkers alike nationwide to join us in raising funds for ASAP, a group fighting for refugee rights at the US border and resource distribution at the ground level. Weโ€™re calling the effort โ€œCoffee For Families.โ€

ASAPโ€™s 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 weekendโ€™s 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 RAICESย and our bi-annual Night of 1000 Pours partners at the American Civil Liberties Union.ย

ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero summed up the moment today eloquently:

โ€œThe 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 doesnโ€™t fix the calamitous harm done to thousands of children and their parents. This executive order would replace one crisis for another. Children donโ€™t 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.โ€ ย โ€” Anthony D. Romero, ACLU
