http://www.centerforhumanrights.org/index.htmlThe above link is to the Center for Human Rights & Constitutional Law. While there are other good organizations engaging in important parts of the legal case against the Trump administration's abuse of parents and children, I find this to be the most important. The lead attorney, Peter Schey, has significant experience, success, and standing in the federal courts on these issues.
Peter has been interviewed a couple of times on MSNBC's The Last Word, with Lawrence O'Donnell in the past week. These interviews provided information on how to defeat Trump in court. I think that this is not only important, but urgent, as Trump is attempting to militarize the prisons for immigrants seeking asylum.
If you are looking for a way to participate in this struggle, please review the web site. If possible, make a donation. While I am currently poor, I am confident that even my small contribution is meaningful.
Thank you for your consideration.

It's an important cause, and Peter is an outstanding attorney. I try to follow the good works of the truly outstanding lawyers, and he definitely ranks high.
And I keep in mind RFK's speech in South Africa, when he spoke about how a million tiny ripples combine to make a powerful wave.
