Episode Notes

There is great hope that  our new Biden/Harris Administration will provide  a more humane approach for the migration of families, and assist with  economic solutions for Central America. The Caravan For The Children Campaign is a focus on the thousands of children that families have  sent in their anguish to provide  safety and support for their children.

The Campaign Goals include:

Increasing Awareness of the current immigration policies and their traumatic impacts on children and their parents.

Engaging communities, networks and advocates  to endorse, support and get involved with the campaign.

Calling on Local Officials to advocate for the freeing of the children being held at ICE detention centers.

Leading a Caravan to the San Diego-Tijuana border and to Washington D.C. within the 100 days  to demand that elected leaders Uncage, Reunify and Heal the Children.
