On Wednesday, President Biden unleashed two assaults on the human right to apply for asylum: (1) a Presidential Proclamation that immediately suspends the right to apply for asylum for people at the Southern border who do not enter the U.S. at a port of entry, and (2) an interim final rule that seeks to make this suspension procedure permanent.

This May, Oasis is participating in Give OUT Day, a month-long giving competition with organizations across the country, rushing to raise the most unique donations of $10 or more. Here's where you come in: your $10 donation could help us win a prize of $10,000, extending your impact to even more queer and trans immigrants. This month, it's not just about the money; it's about the impact we can make together. The number of donors is much more significant than the total amount of money raised. Read our latest blog post to see how you can help Oasis win $10,000 of additional funding for LGBTQ+ immigrants! https://lnkd.in/gK7Bs9CA
