Families Belong Together - Chicago March
On June 30, we'll be joining together to protest this administration's cruel policy of separating kids from their parents. Families belong together, and we need to end this — NOW.
Marshal Trainings have been scheduled for Thursday and Saturday. To confirm yourself as a volunteer marshal please hit this link: https://goo.gl/forms/7biP15eV7zQGSeXJ3
