I know there was another thread, more recent, thread for this, but search got me here. I brought this up in another thread the other day, but supposedly we’ve got someone who will listen to us in the White House coming in. Let’s help him help people. What I’m thinking of is reuniting families. My first hit searching for that is:
Just researching at this point.
Just have a second right now, but I’m in. This should be an immediate priority.
I think I overheard Lawrence O’Donnell saying there 666 kidnapped children where they don’t know who or where the parents are.
Still looking for something to do other than give money (not saying that shouldn’t be done). I speak a little Spanish, but not enough. It’s a requirement for some of the volunteer opportunities I’m seeing. I’m looking into improving the Spanish now.
Bump. Biden is POTUS tomorrow. Separated families in custody the day after is unacceptable. What can we do?
Last count I can find is 628 children still in the system whose parents have not been found.
We need a better plan than last time! - LFS
We should start with more organizing. Who is up for an UnStuck protest at the detention center just outside of LA?
@LFS, @suzzer99 , @MichaelDavis , @MysteryConman , @Sabo , @jmakin , @StimAbuser , @simplicitus , @skydiver8 who else is in Southern California?
Yea, I could be down
Yeah. I was digging through the links you shared yesterday deciding where I wanted to commit financial donations. I have to dig further to find/determine where to best allocate my time resource.
I’m closer to the border than I am to LA, so there may be actions down here that are easier to participate in. But it is only a couple hours up to LA, and I can hop on the train if I need to.
I’m willing to go down to SD area
Border/SD area is fine with me too. Strangely we seem to have about as many people from SD as we do from LA around here (although I think there are a few more posters from LA who don’t post about it much).
Nice. Let’s do it this weekend! C’mon. With people bringing their family and such we can have 20+ there!
Microdaughter is in!
my family are trumpers, I’m a party of 1. I might be able to convince a friend to come.
I’m also a huge wuss at these things, just as a heads up. I’m not down for like obstructing traffic or anything crazy like that.
Same. My one traffic blocking arrest was 30 years ago and I would have dodged that if my gf at the time hadn’t made it impossible.
Bump
What’s better Saturday or Sunday?
Def saturday for me
So far the only yeses are me and jmakin. I know there’s another maybe. Anyone else? I will bring at least one person, but I sorta feel lukewarm about this until/unless we get two more yeses.
Anyone else?
Idk. I’m thinking if we don’t get like 4 unstuckers on board min, it’s a no-go for lack of interest.
@jmakin - what do you think?
Maybe noon PST deadline for two more rsvps?
Yea, looks unlikely though. It’d be fun too to just have a meetup.
