[RP TownTalk] June 30 9AM University Park March to Keep Families Together

[Heather Cronk]

Thanks for sending this, Bruce -- I think it's an important reminder that
this administration still doesn't have an answer for how to reunite over
2000 children with their parents. And it's an important reminder that a
healthy democracy depends on the exercise of free speech -- including the
right to protest.

>From the article:

"At least 2,342 children
<https://www.factcheck.org/2018/06/did-the-obama-administration-separate-families/>
were
separated from their parents between May 5 and June 9 as a result of the
Trump’s policy. Even though Trump has signed an order to stop the
separations, questions remain about its implementation and the fate of the
children who have already been separated."
