But while the president has worked to undo some of the most harmful policies passed under his predecessor, more action is urgently needed to stop cruelty against immigrants and build a more just and humane immigration system.

The surging number of COVID-19 cases in U.S. prisons, jails, and detention centers has magnified the dangers and abuses of incarceration—fueling the call to #FreeThemAll and a demand for systems that actually support safety and healing. 

Most of us know that incarceration does not keep us safe, but how do we talk about alternatives to our current criminal punishment system with folks who may not know what to do instead? Framing this issue in terms of shared values—instead of statistics—is critical, but how do we do that when we’re talking to others?
