Nearly 200,000 non-citizens, many with kids who are U.S. citizens, are deported every year without their kids’ say in the matter.
This Saturday, June 20th, people are gathering in NYC to support the protection of immigrants’ children at the annual Children’s Vigil. The vigil will be held by Families for Freedom in support of the Child Citizen Protection Act, HR 182 and their Broken Families, Broken Hearts campaign.
If you’re in NYC, come out to the south side of Union Square at 14th St. for the event!
Union Square Park at 14th St.
Saturday, June 20
11am-1pm
If you can’t make the event, or aren’t in NYC send a broken heart to Families for Freedom at 3 West 29th St., Suite #1030, NY, NY 10001. The hearts will be sent to congress to show support.
