The International Red Cross has reunited families for decades

I know it has its problems, but it seems as though they should be involved in fighting the admin's policies re: separating children from parents.

Here's the contact URL. I'm going to write to them to ask that they make a statement to the world against US ICE policies. Maybe we should start a letter-writing campaign.

1. I agree

Where are the humanitarian agencies fighting this? Where are the churches? Where are legal scholars initiating law suits? Can't believe this is my country!

2. I just wrote to them

I suggest you do so, too, and get as many as you can to do so.

My letter: The International Red Cross has reunited separated families for decades. Current policies of the United States government have called for the cruel and traumatic separation of children as young as 18 months old from their parents as they attempt to enter the United States. Thousands have been warehoused in recent years, and currently 1,500 have gone missing, possibly sold into human trafficking. Because this is an international issue, the Red Cross has a moral imperative to speak up to the international community to condemn these inhumane policies. When the whole story becomes known, who in the IRC will defend its silence?
