The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has launched the "Letters to America" campaign as part of its Border Humanity Project. This initiative comes in response to anticipated immigration policies under a second Trump administration. The campaign seeks to amplify the experiences of immigrants seeking safety in the United States, focusing on their stories which are often overlooked in discussions about border policy.

Jonathan Blazer, director of border strategies at the ACLU, stated, "As the ACLU and its border affiliates prepare for President-elect Trump’s extreme anti-immigrant agenda, we know that part of the fight ahead lies in countering misleading narratives about people who come to the U.S. in search of better lives for themselves and their families." He emphasized that fearmongering and partisan politics have negatively influenced public perception of immigration policy, overshadowing the real stories of individuals seeking safety.

The "Letters to America" campaign features multimedia content including long- and short-form videos that tell the stories of immigrants from Mexico, El Salvador, and Cameroon. It also includes a portrait series, digital media placements, and blog posts highlighting immigrant journeys.

This effort is a collaboration between various ACLU branches across southern border states such as Arizona, New Mexico, San Diego & Imperial Counties, and Texas. The team comprises advocates, litigators, community leaders, and experts focused on defending rights and promoting humane reforms along the U.S.-Mexico border.
