Two weeks ago, we came together in a Together Rising Love Flash Mob to help get babies – who were torn from their families at the border – back into their parents’ arms.
In 9 hours, you raised One Million Dollars.
In total, you raised $1,500,000.
Last week, we told you about our first round of giving, in which we funded the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project for an angel team of four lawyers and 3 legal assistants to represent children detained in Arizona detention centers and their families; and the Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights in order to cover the costs of a lawyer and social worker who will be operating around the country and on the border to provide advocacy and healing to unaccompanied, detained children.
Now, we are updating you on our second wave of giving so you know where Together Rising is putting your funds to work with love warrior boots on the ground:
- You are giving $344,787.69 to RAICES (Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services), the largest immigration legal services provider in Texas. In just the first half of June – in one court alone — RAICES knows of 184 parents who have been separated from their children (in addition to the 200 separated families they were already aware of) – a rate that will continue. They have ZERO funding to reunify these families. Through RAICES, your money will provide family reunification for 2,000 families by funding a new Family Reunification Supervising Attorney, Family Reunification Staff Attorney, and Family Reunification Legal Assistant. You are also paying for two children’s staff attorneys who will provide full legal representation for 100 unaccompanied children who have been released from detention, along with other associated costs.
- You are giving $125,000 to Safe Passage Project – a legal advocacy organization for unrepresented children facing deportation. As children form lines in front of the courthouse, stepping in to face deportation hearings alone, advocates from Safe Passage Project step in to ensure that they are represented. Your money will provide a lawyer and part time paralegal so more of these children will not be alone.
- You are giving $200,000 to KIND (Kids In Need of Defense), a national organization that trains lawyers to represent immigrant children at no cost in connection with their immigration and deportation proceedings. Through KIND, you are funding a new staff lawyer expert in child protection law to support the pro bono lawyers, a new social services coordinator and 33 pro bono training presentations to train more volunteer attorneys to represent children and reunify them with their families.
This crisis is heartbreaking, but at Together Rising, we don’t do despair. We know that despair is self-indulgent. Instead, we turn our collective heartbreak into effective action.
BECOME ONE OF THE HELPERS. EVERY PENNY WE RECEIVE FROM THIS LINK WILL CONTINUE TO GO TO CAREFULLY VETTED ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WORKING TIRELESSLY TO REUNIFY CHILDREN WITH THEIR FAMILIES. We know immigration is complicated and still we say: NOT THIS.
Let us hold onto this non-negotiable: Babies should not be torn from their parents’ arms. GIVE HERE TO SAY: NOT THIS.

#Your explanations were clear and easy to understand, and your attention to detail was greatly appreciated.
In the span of just 9 hours, donors contributed $1 million, with the total amount reaching $1.5 million. This remarkable achievement reflects the deep compassion and commitment of individuals coming together to support vulnerable children and families impacted by immigration policies.

I am on this website because I am thinking about the same thing.
We need to do so with guidance as to be of the greatest good.
I am outraged about the asylum seekers. All I can think is about the abuse, especially sexual that these guards are inflicting on these children. The babies and toddlers are probably still being breastfed.
The detention centers may not allow any outside materials. Or, contact the groups running overseeing the facilities directly. Southwest Key is the group running the detention facility in Brownsville, Texas, but I don’t know how many others they operate.

besides helping, making people aware is very important, you are doing a beautiful job.
This has been going on since about 2010, have you been doing this work since then?
It’s wrong to separate children from families no matter how long. It was wrong then it’s wrong now, help us fight for what’s right.
Does it actually matter? The point to focus on is it is happening now.
*my comment is to Lisa who asked if this work was going on in 2010. The important thing is that Glennon’s Organization is doing great work right now. Donate or move along!
The kids that were being kept in facilities like this at that time were kids that crossed the border on
there own, alone & got caught w/ out parents & not being taken away.
Interested in creating packs for the children and creating Facebook campaign
This is great, That’s a great website
Yeah this is great website
This is great, That’s a great website
I’d like to go as well. It’s imperative that these families get access to Trauma treatment ASAP. Especially these children. How can we do more?
I would like to go as well. I’d like to put together “packs” for each child based on age. They could includes paper, pens/pencils/crayons, color books, stuffed animal, picture books (with Englis words) match box cars, watches, books Spanish to Englis word books, etc.. other ideas?
I’m a retired teacher, I would be happy to teach some English (so they can understand some of what is being said to them), do some crafts, sing songs, hold toddlers, rock babies.
How can we make this happen?
I can’t go but I would do “packs” as well. What is the possibility of this option?
I would contact someone at one of the non-profits mentioned serving in the communities where this is happening to see if that is needed or if it is even possible to get them to the children.

I am outraged about the asylum seekers. All I can think is about the abuse, especially sexual that these guards are inflicting on these children. The babies and toddlers are probably still being breastfed.
Is there a group going down there? Or planning s visit at one of the facilities? I want to go.
