Thousands of children are still separated from their families — going to bed each night terrified their parents have abandoned them, or worse.
An article published this weekend detailed babies taking their first steps and speaking their first words in U.S. custody. Precious moments of their lives — and for their parents — that tragically happened behind bars.
Many families are desperately trying to reunite with their kids, but are struggling to cover the cost of transportation and lodging.
That’s why I’m partnering with the Families Belong Together coalition to help reunify children separated from their families at the border by donating to pay for airfare, hotel, and personal items for children and parents released from detention.
All money raised from this message will help reunify families separated by the Trump Administration. Pitch in here, if you can:
If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation to the Families Belong Together coalition will go through immediately:

The money you contribute here will be immediately used for reunification travel expenses, including transportation, lodging, and a small personal kit to help families get started.
It will also help cover the travel costs of Spanish speaking immigration experts acting as volunteers to ensure that all families are supported and reunified.
Since the Trump Administration is not reunifying families at the appropriate pace, any additional funds that cannot be used for travel will go to support efforts to reunify the families immediately.
I am personally asking you to add a contribution to support families desperately trying to unite with their children. This is a human rights abuse and we must do everything in our power to help these families:

Every single day these families are separated, another child goes to sleep terrified because they don’t know where their parents are. All because of a policy used to punish immigrants fleeing violence.
This is not the sign of a civil society. I hope you’ll take action right now to help correct this human rights abuse for thousands of families.
Thanks for all you do.
