How You Can Help Families At The U.S.-Mexico Border

President Donald Trump’s executive order to reverse his “zero tolerance” policy and stop the separation of children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border has only recently taken effect after massive public outcry. This new direction, however, does nothing to address the 2,300 immigrant children who have already been separated from their families. After weeks of uncertainty and confusion, it is difficult to be optimistic. But, there is much more that families in NYC can do to help those at the border.
