Save the Children Action Network is the political voice for kids. 

The Biden administration has stopped settlement negotiations to provide just compensation for families cruelly separated at the U.S. border. Send a message to President Biden to uphold his campaign promise to seek justice for these families. 

Hi John,

There are no words to describe the anguish that a parent feels when their child is ripped from their protection – or the terror that consumes a child when they’re thrust, alone, into a cold and unfamiliar place.  

This is the reality that the “zero tolerance” immigration policy shamefully forced thousands of asylum-seeking families to endure.  

In an instant, kids with loving parents became virtual orphans. The innocence of childhood was eclipsed by unimaginable pain.  

Years later, over 1,000 children have yet to be reunited with their parents – and a recent study1 from Physicians for Human Rights reports that even those who have been reunited are struggling to recover from separation and inhumane treatment at the U.S.-Mexico border.  

Tell the Biden administration to honor its promise to pursue justice and accountability for thousands of asylum-seeking children and families.

Formerly separated migrant children may have reached U.S. soil, but their journeys are far from over. Most navigate persistent trauma and significant mental health impacts long after reunification. As they struggle to adjust to a new world, these kids are living with severe anxiety, depression, panic attacks, suicidal thoughts and post-traumatic stress disorder.  

Our government can never replace the years that were stolen from forcibly separated families – but we can allocate funding to help them heal.  

Urge President Biden to keep his campaign promise and provide fair compensation to families.

Thank you for being a voice for kids,
