Contact your senators today. Tell them #EndFamilyDetention and the Zero Tolerance

Stop Trump from locking up families. This is NOT a solution, just a change in how the damage is done.

The Trump Administration believes it has solved the crisis THEY created. After ripping 2,000 children from the arms of their parents they are now preparing to lock up huge numbers of families together. Halting the separation of families is NOT enough. We must end zero tolerance and the criminalization of immigrant families. Asylum seekers should not be detained, and detention of kids is NEVER in their "best interest."


No one will ever forget the harm and damage Trump inflicted on families fleeing persecution and violence, especially the children, some only months old,
who will suffer indefinitely from trauma. This is NOT a solution, just a change in how the damage is done.


As you heard on Friday from my colleague Nicole, the Trump administration believes it has solved the crisis THEY created. After ripping more than 2,300 children from the arms of their parents they are now preparing to lock up huge numbers of families together.

But halting the separation of families is NOT enough. We must end zero tolerance and the criminalization of immigrant families. Asylum seekers should not be detained, and detention of kids is NEVER in their "best interest."

We will never forget the harm and damage Trump inflicted on families fleeing persecution and violence, especially the children, some only months old, who will suffer indefinitely from trauma.
This cruelty must STOP.

Contact your senators today. Tell them they should #EndFamilyDetention and the Zero Tolerance Policy.
