Transforming Ditto Plush from the Pokemon Center

People of Tumblr, we’re throwing up the Bat Signal.

Though this Administration has vowed today to sign an executive order that would end the separation of families at the border stemming from its “zero tolerance” policy, we must continue to apply pressure and do our part. Families should have never been separated in the first place.

Here are five ways that you can help:

1. Call your Senator and let them know that immigration reform is still needed. Call the Senate switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask for your Senator’s office.

2. Donate to organizations that are providing support to immigrant families being held in detention centers all over the country:

The Florence Immigration Project - The Florence Project is providing free legal and social services to migrants being detained in Arizona.

The Texas Civil Rights Project - Lawyers in Texas have banned together to fight for “equality and justice in and out of the courts.”

ACLU of Texas Border Rights Center

RAICES Bond Fund - This fund provides money to release parents from detention centers so they can look for their kids.

CARA Family Detention Pro Bono Project - CARA provides legal representation for families in detention centers.

KIND - Kids In Need of Defense (KIND) provides legal representation for unaccompanied minors in detention centers. They’ve also provided other ways for you to help oppose family separation here.

CARA Pro Bono Project - Help alleviate the cost of housing for volunteer lawyers, as well as sending coloring books to those children in detention centers.

Refugee Caravan - Donate what you can to help detained immigrants make phone calls to their families and lawyers.

3. Contact the Immigration Justice Campaign if you, or someone you know, are fluent in Spanish and can assists lawyers at the border over the phone as an interpreter.

4. Contact Northwest Immigrant Rights Project and volunteer your services as a Spanish-speaking interpreter or as a lawyer for those parents who have been sent to the state of Washington without their children.

5. If you’re a lawyer, law student, paralegal or Spanish-speaking interpreter, contact the Dilley Pro Bono Project for a week-long shift as a volunteer in Texas.

Let’s do what we can to right this wrong because children and families should never have to suffer these kinds of irreparable trauma.

Mamoudou Gassama: Mali ‘Spiderman’ to be made French citizen

Mamoudou Gassama, an undocumented immigrant who has become a national hero in France after scaling a building to save a toddler who was dangling off a balcony, is to be made a French citizen. After a meeting between Gassama and French President Emmanuel Macron, the office of the French presidency said that Gassama would be made a French citizen and had been offered a job by the Paris fire brigade.

Mr Gassama is said to have arrived in France last year, taking the long and dangerous journey to Europe via a boat over the Mediterranean to Italy.

I just climbed up and thank God, God helped me. The more I climbed the more I had the courage to climb up higher, that’s it,“ he added.[x]

How to Cope with Hurt and Pain

1. Try to give it form and to put it into words. Don’t allow it to be shapeless as that’s harder to resolve. 2. Agree that you will look at it and not ignore the pain - as any unexpressed emotions lead to problems later on. 3. Avoid triggers and memories that take you back in time, and open up old wounds, so you feel the pain again. 4. Ground yourself in the present and who you are today – and remember you have strengths, and good people in your life. 5. Don’t allow the hurt and pain to take control of who you are, or limit what you’ll do, or the goals you set yourself. 6. Spend as much time as possible with those who treat you well – with those who see your worth, and who love and value you.
