This is terrific, and makes my heart sing. Important to note that the link to your org: Teachers Against Child Detention above (join us) has sign up information and ways the rest of us might help with this, in specific, concrete ways. THANK you!

Too bad America's own homeless children do not receive the free food, warm beds, and educational opportunities these illegal children do.

Yes, it is but that does not negate the needs of these children, many of whom have relatives ready and waiting to take them. The US can and should address the needs of all children.

I'm so glad that you are concerned with all children, Jim. What are you doing for your local homeless children and how can I help you?

How are children illegal?

Listen to Children Who’ve Just Been Separated From Their Parents at the Border
ProPublica has obtained audio from inside a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility, in which children can be heard wailing as an agent jokes, “We have an orchestra here.”

Tunnel vision. Expand your lens to view the greater picture. All children deserve a humane education. But these children need whatever these wonderful teachers are preparing for them because they are suffering abuse at the highest level of our government.

Wonderful! How does someone sign up to go, when exactly will it be held, and is there someone going from Illinois?

I was in New Mexico last summer trying to connect with others who were wanting to address this travesty last summer- Is the teach-in still happening ? How do we connect with organizers?
