Families Belong Together Albany

Start: Thursday, June 14, 2018 4:30 PM

On June 14th, 2018, join Citizen Action of New York, New York Civil Liberties Union and other in Albany as we join cities across the US hosting marches, rallies, and vigils to protest the current administration’s callous treatment of immigrants and asylum seekers (see https://familiesbelong.org/).

Please join us as we oppose and speak out against the cruel, inhumane, and unjustified separation of children from their parents along the U.S. border with Mexico and at other ports of entry into the U.S. We protest the barbaric conditions in which these innocent children and their parents are kept. We protest the irreversible trauma that our government has caused these families. Their only crime was to seek a better life.

We call on Congress to take action to put a stop to this illegal & barbarically cruel child abuse perpetrated by the Trump administration.

As a nation of immigrants, it is unconscionable that our government is actively tearing apart families. These people are victims of violence, hunger, and poverty and our government’s actions re-violate them, causing untold damage. Children as young as 18 months are torn from their mothers’ arms by our own government. This is violent abuse and as concerned citizens and voters we state, unequivocally, that this is not in line with American values.
