Stop Separating Families!

Tell Congress: Stop Prying Children From Their Parents’ Arms and Detaining Them Sign the Petition › Dear friends, This past week has been tough. We’ve seen the cruelty of the Trump administration towards families seeking asylum in the US. I want to make sure you saw our action about this, so I’m resending it now. Children are taken from their parents at the border and put into government-run shelters, often hundreds of miles away from their parents, even when they had documentation proving their relationship to their children. President Trump signed an Executive Order last week that he claims would end family separation. Don’t be fooled: his order does nothing to end the policy of family separation or reunite the over 2,000 children who have been forcibly separated from their parents and doesn’t stop the policy of prosecuting families seeking safety. The Trump administration’s answer is to detain families in prolonged detention instead. That isn’t the answer. Tell Congress to ask the Trump administration to stop prying children from their parents’ arms and detaining them. TAKE ACTION
