Keep Families Together



The cruel separation of immigrant families must stop. I urge you to call your representatives and demand that they take action.

Dial 202-224-3121 to call the United States Capitol. 
Press or say 1 to be connected with a senator.
Enter or say your zip code to be connected to your senator.

In Idaho, Senator Crapo's phone lines go directly to voice mail due to the high volume of calls. I left a message saying that I hoped he would vote to pass senate bill 3036, the Keep Families Together Act. Then I left my name and address as I wanted to hear back from him.




You can also sign the petition to pass the Keep Families Together Act.

Sign the petition to the Secretary of Homeland Security: Stop Separating Children From Their Parents.

You can take action with Amnesty International and send a note to congress.

Read @TiffanyBond 's twitter feed where she annotates SB3036 so you can fully understand what's in it.

Take a look at this list of companies that are profiting from the child detention centers. You can contact them.
