What We’ve Achieved

We led a movement wide effort to permanently end family separation and detention, seek accountability for the harm that’s been done, and push for reunification for all families who remain torn apart.

We raised millions of dollars for immigrant children and families, mobilized hundreds of thousands of people in all 50 states to take action, and helped to reunite thousands of families.

We worked with advocates on either side of the border to draw attention to abuses in the immigration system, hold elected officials accountable, and change the narrative about migrants and migrant families in popular culture and media.
