Call to Action: Stop The Cruelty. Stop The Wall. (February 12, 2019)
STOP THE CRUELTY. STOP THE WALL.
#FamiliesBelongTogether #NoWall
Certain fundamental pillars support society. Families belong together. Children need their families. Government lifts people up. Cabinet officials tell the truth.
Instead of following these basic principles, the Trump regime—with Greg Walden’s full support—has chosen to further their racists ideals by:
- Ignoring recommendations that family separation would cause trauma to children
- Creating the policy of family separation with the intent for maximal harm
- Having no plan to track and then losing thousands of families who were separated
- Allowing private prisons to profit off these children
- Lying under oath about what was/is happening
- Refusing to reunite families, claiming it would be too hard
Public outcry over these atrocities has fueled the oversight that is bringing this information to light. We must keep the PRESSURE TURNED UP to stop this racist agenda. We will continue to push to end family separation AND to stop Trump’s wasteful racist wall.
CRUELTY IS THE TRUMP REGIME’S
CONSCIOUSLY CHOSEN POLICY!
Make it clear to our Members of Congress that they have a moral obligation, that it is their sworn duty to stop this cruelty by:
- Funding the government with no shutdown and no money for the wall
- Stopping and investigating family separation
Security Without Cruelty!
Stop The Wall!
Stop Family Separation!
