FIGHT ICE, "Families Belong Together" protests

Tomorrow Fri June, 1st cities are supporting immigrant families who are being separated by ICE under the trump admin. Find a local protest and make your voice heard! RESIST! Peace.
http://www.webelongtogetherkids.org/
In response to the growing number of children and youth separated from their immigrant families at the border or their homes, and the thousands of children who have been harmed or abused by Trump's immigration agencies, we are holding a non-violent National Day of Action for Children on Friday, June 1st. We demand that the Trump administration stop separating immigrant children and youth from their families and account for what is happening to all children in immigration custody.
#FamiliesBelongTogether
#WhereAreTheChildren

Add your name to the petition now and find an event near you on June 1st.

There was short notice and it was held on a week day. Another is planned for Sat., June 23. Maybe that will enable the word to spread and give people more time to plan and prepare. Who knows, maybe the children will turn up miraculously riding on unicorns and rainbows before that date.
