Cities all over the country were filled with engaged citizens on Saturday, June 30, 2018, as thousands of protesters marched together to support reuniting families torn apart at the U.S.-Mexico border.
In May and June, thousands of families were split apart after the Trump administration issued a zero-tolerance immigration policy that resulted in several thousand children being taken away from their parents and held in detention centers. Families Belong Together, an organization resisting the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance immigration policy, organized a march on Washington to protest the troubling policies. Citizens around the country marched in solidarity in their communities to drive home one simple message: #FamiliesBelongTogether.
People got creative with how they shared their messages.
Even some kiddos got involved.
And for many, it was a group affair.
People are raising their voices loud and clear. Now, it’s time the government listened.
No matter what side of the political aisle you fall on, families always have and always will belong together. If you want to continue helping Families Belong Together and other organizations committed to reuniting migrant families, learn more about how you can help here.
