Friday, we’re bringing a message right to the people tearing apart immigrant families:  We won’t sit quietly while the Trump administration separates and detains parents and children, because families belong together.

Nearly 200 Families Belong Together rallies are taking place at immigration enforcement offices in cities from Bakersfield to Boston, Dallas to Detroit – including near Urbana.

Every single day, ICE, the Border Patrol, and U.S. Attorneys rip apart families that are fleeing persecution and violence, trying to start a better life in this country. There’s no excuse for that kind of cruelty, and they must stop immediately. There’s still time to join an event near you:

Events Near You

#FamiliesBelongTogether Rally At U.S. Attorney’s Office United States Attorney’s Office 201 S. Vine St., Suite 226, Urbana, IL Friday, June 1, 12:00 PM

The events will be family-friendly, so bring your friends, wheel your stroller over, grab your lunch boxes, and get ready to make your voice heard – because families belong together.

I’ll be rallying with my friends and family in Washington, DC, and I hope you’ll join near you, too.

See you in the streets,
