Caravan For The Children Campaign is a national 100-day effort to demand the release, reunification and healing of migrant children still being held in ICE custody across the country. The Caravan is spearheaded by a coalition of well established San Francisco Bay Area artists, advocates and community-based organizations that include CARECEN SF, Chicana/Latina Foundation, Galeria de La Raza, Instituto Familiar de la Raza, and Latinx Equity Project. The Co-Chairs of the Caravan Campaign in the Bay Area, Olga Talamante and Gloria Romero, discuss the campaign goals and events.

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.
