Children at the Border: Call to Action

By: Roxane Ramos

If you wish to learn more about the causes behind the increased number of unaccompanied migrant children at the border, please view—and forward—this excellent video from Jesuit Refugee Service | USA. It consolidates a range of interrelated events and factors into an informative 4-minute history lesson: http://vimeo.com/102135765 You can also provide in-kind or monetary support to help immigrant families at the border through Catholic Community Services (CCS), highlighted in the recent KBI Alert from Executive Director Fr. Sean Carroll. For a wish list of needed items for migrant families in Tucson, see: http://tinyurl.com/qapgakv
