Stop Separating Families!

Separating asylum-seeking children from their parents is a grave violation of human rights and a form of torture. The United States is devastating families and causing irreparable emotional damage to these children. We ask the United States government immediately to stop separating asylum-seeking families. Can you hear their cries?

Why is this important?

As a parent, I cannot sit idly by while the United States rips apart families and hides behind a fear policy to do so. Families fleeing violence and death in their home countries into the arms of the United States must be welcomed, and above all, kept together.
