Friend,

Many of us are gathering around a table today to share a meal and spend time with our families, our communities, and our loved ones.

On our end, we could not be more grateful to our Young Center community. Throughout the years, each of you has stood up for the hopes and dreams of unaccompanied and separated immigrant children, many of whom will not be able to be with their families today.

We know that there's still much work ahead of us to build an equitable and just immigration system that puts the needs of children, and their families, front and center. But we won't back down from saying that immigrant children are first and foremost children. We hope that you will continue to stand in their corner.
