Action for Andry

June 6 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm

About this event

Join Vote Save America, the Human Rights Campaign and the Immigrant Defenders Law Center for a protest in support of Andry José Hernández Romero. This is an opportunity for World Pride attendees, DMV area residents, and the entire LGBTQ+ community to rally around Andry as we demand his return!

Andry is a 31-year-old gay make-up artist and asylum seeker from Venezuela. Despite seeking safety in the United States due to persecution, Andry was unjustly and illegally disappeared to CECOT, an El Salvadorian prison known for its human rights abuses. After months in detention, and missing his asylum hearing, his lawyer lost contact. We demand his immediate return and the chance to present his asylum claim.

This injustice against Andry is an attack on the entire LGBTQ+ community and the right to seek refuge.

We’ll hear from:

  • Jon Lovett, Host of Lovett or Leave It and Co-Host of Pod Save America
  • Lindsay Toczylowski, Andry’s Lawyer and President & CEO of the Immigrant Defenders Law Center
  • Rep. Mark Takano, Chair of the Equality Caucus
  • Tim Miller, Host of The Bulwark Podcast
  • Sarah Longwell, Publisher of The Bulwark and Host of The Focus Group Podcast

Join us on Friday the 6th to hear the latest on Andry’s case, and raise your voice in support.
