Families Belong Together
What Can We Do: Donate
If none of the other options are possible for whatever reason, donating money to a cause is just as helpful. Many organizations are doing work on the ground to help children and families affected by the administration's immigration policies. Most of these organizations are focusing on legal support, asylum support, and providing bail money for parents to reunite with children upon release. You may also see a lot of fundraising efforts on Facebook if you use that platform.
