#FreeTheFamilies

CAMPAIGN TOOLKIT 


We need your help to get #FreeTheFamilies trending. 

The good news is that a federal judge ruled that children being held in Family Detention Centers by ICE must be released immediately because COVID-19 is seriously endangering them. 

Unfortunately, the judge does not have jurisdiction over the parents being held in these facilities, and has left it up to the government agencies, DHS and ICE, to either release the parents along with the children or release the children to sponsors. 

Join our campaign to amplify the call to #FreeTheFamilies together. Help us show the size and power of this movement by taking action today: 

WAYS TO TAKE ACTION
