500+ nationwide protests planned June 30th KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER
More cities have joined Wash DC and over 500 cities have an event planned. Some events are on other dates (San Diego is tomorrow June 23rd AND June 30th). Spread the word and RESIST....IT WORKS!
Find an event near you, donate, make phone calls and write to your reps, sign the petition. THANKS!!!!

The executive order that Donald Trump signed today is not a solution to the crisis created by his administration; it keeps kids imprisoned indefinitely, and doesn't reunite thousands of separated families. But it does show the administration is reacting to public pressure, so we will continue to increase our pressure for justice at hundreds of events on Saturday, June 30, to say that families belong together.

I am distressed that the disaster with the children has been pushed off the news.

and there are over 600 cities protesting on Sat. Wear a yellow ribbon on your wrist since the organizers may run out. I attended two rallies last week and we are still fighting and going strong! Spread the word!
