Hello,
As we look forward to the beginning of summer and celebrating Independence Day, a day to remember the fundamental principles and values of our country, I can’t help but think about the heartbreaking and unconscionable situation of immigrant families on the border.
The traumatic effects of family separation are profound and long lasting.
This is America.
Children and families deserve better.
Many of us will celebrate the beginning of summer with family and friends—let’s consider what each of us can and should do.
