To Governor Kathy Hochul and all New York legislators:

We, as citizens of the world, call on you to recognize Mahmoud Khalil’s bravery by declaring June 20 as Mahmoud Khalil Day. We urge you to take this step as he faces deportation, in a lasting act of defiance against authoritarianism, and a powerful stand for freedom of speech.

Honor Mahmoud Khalil!
The US government is deporting Mahmoud Khalil.

His lawyers have just 30 days to appeal - and it's time for us to go on offense. Only a judge can stop the deportation, but Trump’s strategy is to govern through a web of fear, persecution, and lies – and we can help shatter it by demanding Mahmoud be recognized for what he is: a principled human rights advocate and a beacon of free speech.

We’re calling on New York’s Democratic governor to declare Mahmoud Khalil Day on June 20, the day he walked free from unjust immigration detention and reunited with his wife and infant son.

A million signatures and a global spotlight can help make this a reality - add your name now, and when our call is massive, we’ll take it straight to Governor Hochul and state legislators to declare the holiday ASAP.
