We oppose family separation at the border (and everywhere else)

Our clinic has joined with 540 organizations across the country to oppose the forced separation of children and parents at the border.

The Administration has options to keep children and families together and has declined to use them. The forcible, extended separation of children from their parents for any reason unrelated to the child’s immediate safety is inhumane.
