keep families together.
“Whether our families crossed the Atlantic, the Pacific, or the Rio Grande, we’re only here because this country welcomed them in, and taught them that to be an American is about something more than what we look like, how our last names sound, or the way we worship.
To be an American is to have a shared commitment to an ideal—that all of us are created equal, and all of us deserve the chance to become something BETTER.” -Barack Obama

Let’s not be fooled by Trump’s signing an executive order that he claims is a compassionate move to keep families together. It does nothing to end the indefinite imprisonment of children, nor does it address the fate of more than 2,000 children already in custody.
Oh say can you see? 🔝
No, most of us can’t see families being torn apart and now imprisoning children in the same internment camps as their parents. It’s downright horrifying and cruel. :
What can we do so we don’t even have to imagine what this actually looks like?
