Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Nazis systematically attacked, destroyed & burned synagogues in Hitler Germany.
These actions were not spontaneous but a state-sponsored campaign of terror.

In Georgia, a food bank is running out of food while demand has surged by over 40%.
Yes, Georgia is a red state, but before we go the FAFO route, remember Trump’s margin of victory in Georgia was 2.2%. So a lot of folks didn’t vote for this.

If you're mad AF about the fact that so many political leaders are ignoring this issue, call Congress at 202-224-3121 & demand they address this issue.
