FAMILIES BELONG TOGETHER
https://familiesbelong.org

Families Belong Together opposes the cruel, inhumane and unjustified separation of children from their parents along the U.S. border. Join us on June 14, 2018

Families Belong Together opposes the cruel, inhumane and unjustified separation of children from their parents along the U.S. border with Mexico and at other ports of entry into the U.S. We protest the conditions in which these children are kept.

We protest the irreversible trauma that has already been perpetrated on these children and their parents for the crime of seeking a better life.

To separate immigrant families, victims of violence, hunger and poverty, is to re-violate them. Children as young as 18 months are torn from their mother’s arms by the U.S. government.
This is violent abuse.
These families are victimized again by the government to which they turn for help. Families Belong Together opposes the inhumane policies of the Trump Administration, Border Patrol, and I.C.E. and calls for immediate reform.

Familias Unidas, No Divididas rechaza la separación cruel, inhumana e injustificada de niños de sus padres a lo largo de la frontera de los Estados Unidos con México y en otros puertos de entrada a los EE. UU. Protestamos por las condiciones en las que se mantienen a estos niños. Protestamos contra el trauma irreversible que ya se ha perpetrado contra estos niños y sus padres por el delito de buscar una vida mejor.

Separar a las familias inmigrantes, familias víctima de la violencia, el hambre y la pobreza es volver a violentarlas. El gobierno de los Estados Unidos separa a niños de tan solo 18 meses de los brazos de sus madres. Esto es abuso. Estas familias son nuevamente victimizadas por el gobierno al que acuden en busca de ayuda. Familias Unidas, No Divididas se opone a las políticas inhumanas de la administración de Donald Trump, Protección Fronteriza y I.C.E. y pide una reforma inmediata.

Looking at through the info on this site, I just found out that the main detention center in my state is located in the city where I teach! It makes sense because it is an extremely diverse city and a sanctuary city. Last semester, I found out that at least three of my students in one class were DACA. I have no idea how many students at the college are illegal.

Our government did this! OUR FUCKING GOVERNMENT! I hate them so much. Now they are coming after my students!

5. The dropdown on the website offers a digital toolkit to tell your story

Every personal story needs to be told.

Yes they come for your students
Without anyone knowing till the word got out.
They did it in secret & in silence till their dog cages were full.

Jeff Sessions, "we need to build more prisons"

Now we are finding out why.

Please tell your story because they have no voice

thanks ProudLib72

people. I was surprised since we are right on the border. I was at the protest at the proposed wall when the moron came to the state a few months ago and the fans/cult were out in force. The cops were very nasty to the anti wall people when we were the ones who were not violent or spewing insults. There were three types of police and they had the SWAT guy's there with what looked like missiles around their belts and weapons, shields, etc and they were all facing us and not the pro wall group. At least I got a brand new "I HATE Fox News" t-shirt (which I am proudly wearing right now) from someone when I complimented hers.

The school district where I taught until a few years ago won't allow ICE, or anyone, on school sites but this is the last day of school and I worry for their safety over the Summer break.
