A lot of people care about what is happening to child detainees right now, and are contacting us to ask what they can do. #DoWhatAmySays #CloseTheCamps #DefundHate #StopBorderTorture #AsylumIsTheLaw #ReleaseReunifyRepresentNow I am very grateful, and this is what we need:
1. KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE. #CloseTheCamps. The conditions in detention are horrific, but don't advocate for nicer prisons for these kids. Children don't belong in jails, asylum is the law (8 USC 1158), and asylum seeking families deserve safety and legal representation.
2. BE VISIBLE AND MAKE A FUSS: Please make sure that your Congressional Representative and your Senators understand EXACTLY how horrified you are at this situation and how unAmerican (well, aspirationally) it is. If you can, go in person to your representative's local office.
