In Solidarity With Immigrants: Families Belong Together
June is Immigrant Heritage Month — which should be a celebration of the diversity and contributions that immigrants add to this country every day. But we are saddened and outraged that, instead, the Trump-Pence administration has used disgusting family separation tactics (and now, family detention) at the U.S.-Mexico border toward families seeking asylum.
Make no mistake: The xenophobia and racism we are seeing today is the same xenophobia and racism that has, throughout our history, been used as a tool against communities of color.
From slavery to Native American “boarding schools” to Japanese internment camps, separating families and interfering with the health and welfare of children of color have long been tactics of the U.S. government in the systematic oppression of communities of color.
Today, that violent legacy continues with the separation of immigrant children from their families and family detention. President Trump’s executive order to detain entire families is not the solution to the crisis he created — it is a jail sentence.
Children belong with their families, but they also belong in safe and healthy environments, not in cages alongside their parents and family members. Not to mention being separated from one’s family is extremely traumatic to children’s health and well-being.
All people deserve the right to raise their children in a healthy and safe environment without being targeted by aggressive immigration tactics and being forced to live in constant fear.
As a leading provider of reproductive health care and an ally to the reproductive justice movement, Planned Parenthood stands with immigrants and will continue to be a vocal advocate alongside our immigration partners in the fight to end these atrocities.
We will not stand by and allow immigrant and refugee families to be stripped of their health and rights, or be separated from or detained with their families. We are committed to defending the rights of immigrants, refugees, and their families to safely access health care and protect them from institutionalized abuse, harassment, and discrimination.
Reproductive health care is a basic human right that everyone deserves regardless of who you are or where you come from or what your immigration status is. That’s what we mean when we say immigrant rights are a reproductive justice issue.
Are you as outraged as we are? Join us on June 30 at rallies across the country.
We need you to help demand that President Trump and his administration keep families together and end practices that criminalize immigrant communities. Find an event near you.
Want to do more? Here are three more ways to take action.
1. Make a donation to any of these organizations that are leading this work on the ground and nationally:
ProBAR and IJP
The Florence Project
Al Otro Lado
La Union Del Pueblo Entero (LUPE)
Fuerza del Valle
2. Call your senators now and tell them to co-sponsor legislation to end family separation and family detention.
3. Sign and circulate a petition from:
ACLU
CREDO
Define American
Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) and Change.org
MomsRising
MoveOn
National Domestic Workers Alliance
Women’s March
Women’s Refugee Commission

Turn your sound on. Reposted from @moveon - 💔 Via public defender Scott Hechinger: This* is the face of Trump's war on immigrants. A 17-month-old baby. Juliet. Returned last night to her mom. Asylum seekers from Honduras. Separated & detained by ICE for 2 months. This is the scene from SFO. Listen to her cries. Bear witness. This is trauma. This is too much. #EndFamilyDetention - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BtUuI4Wg577/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9s188j8rcdt5

#Repost @zaxray with @get_repost ・・・ “Familias Separadas” is a public art project that amplifies the stories of immigrant families affected by detention and deportations in Pennsylvania. The public art installations are centered on the message from mothers and children detained for close to 2 years at the Berks County Residential Center, a family prison in Pennsylvania. These artworks, created by artist Michelle Angela Ortiz, are installed in different locations in Harrisburg to further support the fight to end family detention in Pennsylvania and the United States. • • • • • #endfamilydetention #shutdownberks #harrisburg #harrisburgpa #pennsylvania #pastatecapitol #statecapitol #art #photography #canon #canon_photos #pennlive https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4fysrnL9I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ksqgw67crbad

Group of Wellesley Alum Mothers in Decatur, Georgia Decided to Do Something About Family Separation and Deportation
(Top Row from Left to Right: Han Pham ‘01, Jessica Palumbo ‘05, Michelle Lapointe ‘01, Shelly Anand ‘08, Yael Sherman ‘00, Anne Radford ‘98, Stephanie Buzzell ‘00. Bottom row from Left to Right: Sonya Khan ‘99, Shiveh (Reed) Roe ‘07)
We are a group of friends living in Decatur, Georgia. We have a few things in common- we all went to Wellesley, we are all mothers, and we are all feel physically ill over what is happening to immigrants in this country and especially immigrant families.
We were out for a rare happy hour together at the Imperial in Decatur after our kids’ bedtimes, which meant that it took a while for all of us to arrive. We talked about Sonya’s new job, and how she had negotiated like a boss. We talked about Shelly’s son’s upcoming birthday, which happens to be the same day as Yael’s birthday.
We didn’t want to talk about the news, but the horror of family separation exerted a gravitational pull upon our conversation. Those poor kids. Those poor parents. We imagined our children pulled away from us, calling for us, our cries for our children ignored. Yael said she felt like she was silently screaming all day-- screaming in horror and anger and pain.
Shelly said that we should do something about it. Have an event at the Imperial, right where we were. We asked to talk to the owner, and he was for it. We decided to have an educational event, to have speakers come and talk to us about what was happening and what we could do to help, and that we’d charge a ticket fee to raise money for Kids In Need of Defense-- KIND-- because they represent immigrant children.
We have to do something--we can’t stand by and let this happen to refugees fleeing violence and immigrants travelling for a better life. We can’t do this to kids and the parents who love them. However small our fundraiser is in the face of national policy, we are doing what we can to educate ourselves and our community, raise our voices, and support the people doing the work on the ground to help these children.
The fundraiser is August 23rd at the Imperial here in Decatur, Georgia. Our speakers include Christina Iturralde Thomas, the managing attorney of the Atlanta KIND Office, Michelle Lapointe (Wellesley ‘01!), Senior Supervising Attorney at the Immigrant Justice Project at Southern Poverty Law Center, and Arizbeth Sanchez, an undocumented student and activist working with Freedom University. The master of ceremonies is Brenda Lopez, Georgia’s first Latinx state rep.
So please. Join us. Be a part of this little piece of community working to keep families together and help reunite those who have been separated.
If you do decide to make a donation for our fundraiser, please write a comment indicating that you are a Wellesley alum. We want to use the power of the network to help support the important work KIND is doing.
