(2,626 posts)24. No need to wait till November. Here are several things we can all do right now.
1.Contact the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission of the United States Congress at the link below.
Please urge them to investigate the use of chemical agents on detainees by a US contracted Private for Profit Prison Corporation.
This is on their website:
https://humanrightscommission.house.gov/
2. If any members of the Human Rights Commission are elected officials from your state, reaching out to them as one of their constituents can have even more impact.
3. Write to the Editors of your local newspaper to make others aware.
These last couple of weeks have been awful. First a farm in Iowa took advantage of the new Ag-Gag law and steamed thousands of live pigs to death and gassed the babies. The person who reported it was arrested. Next is the toxic poisoning of asylum seekers in the Concentration camps. If we allow it to go on people will become desensitized just like much of America has been desensitized to the cruelty of the current administration.
