Women and their children seeking safety in the US have been tear gassed and treated like animals.
Join groups around the US for a Stop the Tears weekend of action to oppose Trump's treatment of our neighbors.
Co-hosted by Jews United for Justice-Baltimore, Be the Change Baltimore, SURJ BAltimore, and ACLU of Maryland. Speaker will be announced when confirmed
Potentially, we will have a "wall" where you can write messages to Trump and Department of Homeland Security decrying these actions, and deliver it with another day of action on Dec 10 (stay tuned for details).
They should have sent more judges to process applications, not tear gas.
