Demand USA to stop the ‘family separation’ policy & stop traumatising children

Petition Details

Six children have died in US custody as their health was neglected after a horrific ordeal pursuing the American dream. 15,000 children detained in these centres. Travelling with a family their only comfort in life to hold the warm hand of someone they loved. No toys no food just love. No longer.
