Tens of thousands of people took to the streets across the country Saturday to protest the draconian immigration detention policies employed by the Trump administration that separated more than 2,000 children from their parents.
On June 20, President Trump signed an executive order to end the family separation policy but did not issue any direction for reuniting the families that had already been torn apart. The Families Belong Together rally was organized to demand reunification and the end of family detention.
Here are some of the best signs we’ve seen at the marches far:

Great speeches from people working with separated families and kids in Philly.
One girl came here “because America treats kids better than my violent country.”
Let’s live up to that, America.#FamiliesBelongTogether #WhiteCoats4FamiliesBelongTogether pic.twitter.com/1Vxlyh8efV— Meenakshi Bewtra (@DrsMeena) June 30, 2018
