FAMILIES BELONG TOGETHER

========================

John,

We've all seen the screaming headlines about the border this week, but let me be the first to tell you: they're missing the point.

What's missing from the story is the fact that our collective humanity is at stake. This is about how we as a nation are going to treat children and families .

These are mothers and fathers who like any parent would move heaven and earth for their children. They've fled horrific violence, abject poverty, and climate disasters.

Are we really going to slam the door on families who had no other option but to run for their lives? On kids who had no choice but to come here alone?

What's happening at the border didn't happen overnight--and it's certainly not a political football to be thrown around when lives are at stake.

Because you've stood with Families Belong Together from the beginning, I know you care just as much as I do about protecting children and how we as a nation live up to our values. I know that time and time again you've shown up to support our dedicated activists, case workers, attorneys, and coalition of partners who are working 24/7 to keep children out of detention, avoid cruel deportations, reunite families, and welcome children with dignity.

The only thing that matters right now is that children are at our doorstep.

John, we've mobilized and are working directly with our partners on the ground to push back on the racist, dehumanizing rhetoric that leaves humanity out of the story.

Here are three ways you can help us today:

1. Pledge your frequent flyer miles, credit card points, or cash to help book flights for migrant families seeking safety.
