Cameroon In Crisis: Protect Our Contri Pipo!

Monday, October 18, 2021 5:00 PM EDT

The Cameroon Advocacy Network, a coalition of social justice partners including RFK Human Rights, is hosting a webinar, “Cameroon In Crisis: Protect Our Contri Pipo!”

The discussion aims to raise public awareness on the humanitarian crises and political violence that have gripped Cameroon over the last decade, forcing thousands of Cameroonians to run for their lives and seek asylum in the United States. In the wake of the one-year anniversary of mass deportations to Cameroon that has left the men and women who were forcibly returned in a state of constant fear, vulnerability, and danger, the webinar takes on a particular urgency.

Please join the Cameroon Advocacy Network on Monday, October 18, at 5:00 pm EDT, to learn more about the ongoing crisis in Cameroon and why we are calling on the Biden administration to protect Cameroonians from deportation, and grant TPS now!
