This is a busy weekend of protest against Trump’s ongoing family separation and imprisonment policies with no less than four actions taking place. Despite last week’s Executive Order, kids are still separated, families who have not committed a crime are being imprisoned indefinitely, and parents are being a given a choice of being deported immediately (back to whatever dangerous situation they were fleeing) without a hearing on their asylum claims OR potentially losing their children forever.
Indivisible Jax Riverside, Women’s March Jax and a diverse coalition of many other community groups and individuals are joining nationwide protests to demand change. Come out if you can to add your voice against these cruel and illegal actions being done in our name.
