Ohioans to Rally for Immigrant Children and Families During National Day of Action #FamiliesBelongTogether

Cleveland, OH – In response to the Trump Administration’s needless and harmful separation of immigrant children from their parents—and the prosecution of parents seeking safety for their children in the United States—Ohioans are rallying on Friday, June 1st, as part of the National Day of Action “#FamiliesBelongTogether.”

The Day of Action was put together by a broad coalition of organizations to demand that the Trump Administration protect families instead of prosecuting and separating them.

There are currently nearly 30 events throughout the country registered athttps://www.familiesbelongtogether.org, including three in Ohio. Details of the events taking place in Ohio are also below:

We need to raise our voices against the key actors who are carrying out Trump’s family separation order: ICE and U.S. Attorneys. ICE apprehends and separates families while US Attorneys enforce the separation in legal proceedings. We need to stand up against this incompetence and the moral abomination of family separation.
