On this Refugee Day

Wed., June 27, 2018

Wednesday, June 20, was World Refugee Day.

Over 68,000,000 people around the world are fleeing dire circumstances. And what is our USA government doing? Withdrawing from the UNHCR while imprisoning innocent children who have been torn from their families.

Babies are in internment camps here in the “Land of the Free” and the “Home of the Brave.”

Please call your congress members and tell them, “We don’t put kids in cages!”

Please help stop the madness initiated by a lying, adulterous, bankrupt bully.
