A lot of people are being harmed by the current administration. Let's mobilize & help them.

I'll pick a Trump order/policy weekly & highlight relevant orgs we can collectively help w/our money & time. Every little bit adds up.

But they do have ideas for what to tell your representatives when you call, to help these families, so this is another action item. Call your reps.
Call your government representatives Call your local, state, and/or national representatives to let them know that this is a humanitarian issue. Find your federal senators and representatives to send a message. Key messages include: • Protect children's rights. Do not eliminate any existing protections for immigrant children and families. Protections are not loopholes. • Give children the chance to tell their experiences and evaluate their claims to see if they qualify as refugees. • Establish high standards for the humane treatment of children (and families) in US Customs and Border Protection custody. • The current situation at the border is a crisis of leadership, not a crisis of insufficient resources. • Prevent the government from redirecting any additional emergency funds to other enforcement purposes.

The superintendent of my local school system posted this on social media this week

Screenshot of a social media post, with a partial photo of a White House fact sheet below. "Michael Richards As you may have heard, the Trump Administration has singled out Harrisonburg City Public Schools in a fact sheet accompanying an executive order banning what it calls "gender ideology" in schools. The claims in their statement are false. We do not have a policy that violates anyone's rights or indoctrinates children. What we do have is a culture of respect-one that honors the dignity and diversity of all students, families, and educators. Naming specific school divisions is using fear as a weapon. Fear to silence educators. Fear to divide communities. Fear to force compliance with an ideology that deliberately targets the most vulnerable. Let me be clear: I will not be intimidated. I stand firm in my commitment to ensuring that HCPS remains a safe, welcoming place for all." THE WHITE HOUSE FACT SHEET: President Donald J. Trump Ends Indoctrination in America's Schools "On day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing Critical Race Theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children."
