Following the Women’s March #WomenDisobey protest in Washington DC on Thursday, another huge protest is planned for Saturday, June 30 in cities across the country. The Families Belong Together march was called several weeks ago in response to the Trump administration’s cruel “zero tolerance” policy for migrants and asylum-seekers, and to protest ICE’s separation and incarceration of families.

The march is officially dubbed “Families Belong Together,” but the organizers are calling for more than an end to separating families at the border. According to thefamiliesbelong.org, the protest is also a call to action against the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy and “family internment camps.” The march is also demanding that the administration “reunify the children with their parents.”

are there other ways to participate?
