DESCRIPTION:We stand in solidarity with the kids who have been imprisoned and interned 
 due to their immigration status.\n\nWe are women and women's accomplices 
 who have been meeting in backyards, around kitchen tables, and in 
 preschools after-hours in the East Bay to share ideas and our compassion 
 for the kids who have been interned. \n\nOne of the ideas we came up with 
 was to start a regular caravan where we travel together to the kids' 
 internment camps and related sites.  Our goal is to peacefully bring 
 comfort to the children through song, and by bringing toys, books, and 
 notes of solidarity to them.  Our goal is to make sure they know we care.  
 We are also interested in visiting sites related to the kids internment, so 
 to see these spots with our own eyes and to grow our collective 
 knowledge.\n\nJoin us this Thursday, July 5th to discuss the next caravan, 
 which will depart on Sunday July 15th form BFUU (1924 Cedar) in Berkeley at 
 around 1pm.  We will also be emotionally unpacking the last caravan, which 
 occurred on July 1st.\n\nDuring the July 1st caravan, two of us were 
 arrested while attempting to deliver toys at the BCFS facility in 
 Fairfield, CA, where according to Sacramento Channel 13 News, at least a 
 dozen of the kids recently separated from their parents are still being 
 held. \n\nOur group includes many mothers and grandmothers, and also those 
 who consider themselves grandmothers' accomplices.  Here is some video 
 footage of when Liz, a grandmother of four, was arrested while attempting 
 to deliver toys to the kids being held in Fairfield on Sunday:

 next caravan will likely be to a different facility and probably won't 
 include arrests. We weren't planning for the arrests on Sunday though, so 
 maybe this is something we should start thinking about more intentionally.  
 Anyway, let's talk about this at the meeting on Thursday!\n\nSolidaridad 
 con los niños. \nhttps://solidaridadconlosninos.com/\n\nWe stand in 
 solidarity with the kids who have been interned.  This includes the 
 children who were forcibly separated are still waiting to be reunited with 
 their families.  We also stand in solidarity with the kids who are being 
 interned along with their families.  Many of us also stand in solidarity 
 with the kids who, after arriving alone at the border, have been held in 
 kids prisons, some of them for months or years, without any families to 
 join.\n\nWe are not an official organization, just women and womens’ 
 accomplices organizing to bring comfort to these kids and get them out of 
 the internment camps, stop the internments, and also get the kids who have 
 been separated back with their families as soon as possible. \n\nWe are 
 omni-partisan. Anyone can stand in solidarity with the kids.\n
