“Dear Popville,
After years in prison, 222 activists detained by the Nicaraguan government have been released. They arrived at Dulles Airport earlier today (Thurs.) and are now in the DC area.
170 of these individuals do not have somewhere to go in the United States. Individuals in the DMV can support them by providing housing or transportation for as long as they are able to. If someone is willing to consider hosting one or more of them, please fill out this form.
A network of Nicaraguans, family, friends, and organizations are working together to support the pro democracy activists. This list will support their efforts. Someone from the united effort team, will reach out to you to give you more information. Many thanks for your support.”
Update:
“Thankfully, the US Government has granted the individuals who arrived on 2/9 from Nicaragua 2-year humanitarian parole, meaning they are immediately able to apply for work permits. If you or your organization can welcome one of the individuals, please fill out this form. Upon filling out the form, you will be contacted.
Please keep in mind that these individuals will need a soft place to land. They will need a place to stay as they work to find jobs and build their lives in the United States. The US Government will do its best to offer ongoing support for all individuals and organizations who step up to welcome our new neighbors.
If you have any questions regarding how to help the Nicaraguan political prisoners who arrived yesterday, in addition to filling out the form, please email [email protected]. Thank you for all of your support!”
