RESIST! PROTEST!....Keep Families Together.6/30/18

500+ nationwide protests planned June 30th KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER
More cities have joined Wash DC and over 500 cities have an event planned. Some events are on other dates (San Diego is tomorrow June 23rd AND June 30th). Spread the word and RESIST....IT WORKS!
Find an event near you, donate, make phone calls and write to your reps, sign the petition. THANKS!!!!

The executive order that Donald Trump signed today is not a solution to the crisis created by his administration; it keeps kids imprisoned indefinitely, and doesn't reunite thousands of separated families. But it does show the administration is reacting to public pressure, so we will continue to increase our pressure for justice at hundreds of events on Saturday, June 30, to say that families belong together.

9:30 PM Just came home from a protest in San Diego.

I found out at 6:00 that there was a "lighting event" tonight at 7:30 from an article I read about "Families Belong Together". It was on a highway overpass and tons of traffic honked and supported us...another rally is downtown on Sat. The woman holding the sign next to me tried to find where the girls are being kept but they do not let anyone in at the Southwest Key Program facilities. She was a nurse for new mothers and wanted to help. It is so frustrating!!!
Everyone RESIST any way you can. I watched Rachel on TV as I headed out the door and was in tears too.

I am serious...where are the girls?

Why can't the media even see them? Not knowing is scaring me. It is almost making me imagine the worst of course. Are they using the boys to spread a "male/gang member/crime" PR impression or is it for their safety? I do not trust the male ICE and Border Patrol people at this point.

"The crying children are actors", says Ann Coulter.

Gee, what a surprise. Are we going to hear from her male counterpart, master provocateur Milo next?

ANOTHER SHOOTING in Trenton NJ.

March for Our Lives is doing a Summer road trip to get support for gun control and register voters. Here is info...
March For Our Lives Summer road trip to get people registered to vote.
https://marchforourlives.com/tour/
Check out the link and see when they will be in your town. RESIST GUN VIOLENCE....VOTE!

The Road to Change kicks off on Friday, June 15 in Chicago, where we’ll be joining the Peace March, led by students from St. Sabina Academy.

From there we are traveling from city to city, with more than 50 planned stops in over 20 states including Iowa, Texas, California, South Carolina, and Connecticut. We’ll also hold a separate Florida tour with more than 25 stops, visiting every congressional district.

We’re going to places where the NRA has bought and paid for politicians who refuse to take simple steps to save our lives — and we’ll be visiting a number of communities that have been affected by gun violence to meet fellow survivors and use our voices to amplify theirs.

At each stop, we’ll register young people to vote and educate them on the reforms we need to save lives, and whether their local elected officials support these reforms or support the NRA.

For more information about the Road to Change, text CHANGE to 977-79.

Here is a super easy way to Keep Families Together...

just fill in your name and address and you will send it automatically to your rep.
https://www.needtoimpeach.com/separated_children_act/

"Donald Trump and his administration are separating thousands of immigrant children from their parents by ordering the prosecution of everyone caught illegally crossing the border into the U.S. As their parents are sent to jail—even those seeking asylum—these “unaccompanied minors” are placed into government custody at immigration detention centers or into foster care.

This is inhumane. This is not what America stands for." # RESIST!
*Share this with friends and spread the word. THANKS!
OR here are more ways to help.....

The Moron said he wouldn't sign the immigration bill

during the impromptu press conference today. Since then he has taken it back and said he misunderstood the question. Huh. Earlier he said he would not sign the moderate GOP bill but maybe the hard core one instead. How many more times will he change his mind on this single, important issue today?

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
