Sign the petition: Airlines must stop being complicit in family separation
Delta, JetBlue Airlines, and all airlines operating in the U.S.
UPDATE (6/21/2018 12:27): American, Frontier, Southwest and United airlines are now refusing to transport immigrant children separated from parents for government.
Over the last few days, flight attendants have shared their experiences and unease working flights where immigrant infants, toddlers, and children separated from their parents were among the passengers—saying it left them “traumatized.”
In response to public scrutiny, American Airlines asked the federal government to “immediately refrain” from using the airline to transport immigrant children who have been separated from their families at the U.S. border.
“We have no desire to be associated with separating families, or worse, to profit from it. We have every expectation the government will comply with our request and we thank them for doing so,” the company said in a statement.
Family separation cannot happen without the complicity of individuals and businesses. American Airlines is exactly right to draw this line in the sand. But they aren't the only airline providing travel to the federal government. We need every other airline to follow their lead.
Sign the petition: Airlines must follow American's lead. Don't be complicit in separating families.
