We will be using this page to post information regarding local rallies and actions that we can take in support of immigrant children and families. These are such difficult times, we need to stick together and rally together. Actions are much stronger when taken together.
We will post as it information becomes available to us -- please stay tuned. If you hear of something that we should add, please email us here.
Please note, protests near children (at airports, facilities) can be SCARY to the children. If you are thinking of taking that type of action, please listen to this story, "For Children Taken from the Border to New York, a Maze of Agencies and Legal Hurdles" from WNYC first. We need to be mindful of the children who have been so traumatized already.
