Avelo Airlines has announced they are ending their contract with ICE to transport detainees. If we pressure Key Lime to do the same it could be a game changer. We are asking everyone to email Key Lime Air’s leadership ASAP. To make it easy and quick, send your message to all of these email addresses at one time.

Call to Action!
The federal government must prioritize permanent supportive housing to protect vulnerable individuals from falling back into homelessness. Cutting funding for these programs threatens both health and safety, and risks undoing years of progress. We must invest in long-term housing solutions to ensure that everyone has a stable foundation for better health and a brighter future. ACT NOW through the National Alliance to End Homelessness.
