The following information was submitted by a Brooklyn resident who, according to her email, is deeply concerned and troubled that children have been separated from their families as a result of immigration policies implemented by the Trump administration. She asked From The G-Man for assistance in making the public aware of "Grannies Respond" and its mission.
From the Grannies Respond/Abuelas Responden website:
"Grannies Respond started off as a small group of people in Beacon,
NY, who wanted to 'go down to the border and just do something' after
all the terrible news of children being torn from their families and
thrown in cages.
"A lot has changed since then... and a lot hasn't.
"While
the flurry of policy changes and court rulings can make your head spin,
one thing hasn't changed: refugees entering the United States for
protection are being treated inhumanely.
"And in just a few weeks,
we are more than a bus of grannies. We're a national movement. Grannies
and their friends are traveling from every corner of the US (and
Mexico!) to meet us in McAllen, Texas, on August 6th for 24 hours of
action.
"We will not be quiet while little ones are crying alone
without the love of a parent to soothe them. We will not remain idle
while tent cities are built to indefinitely detain families seeking safe
haven in our country. Our government and our institutions do not have
dominion over our morality. We the people will be the moral compass of
our country and we will not rest until compassion and decency are
restored."
