Commentary
Alex Kohn on Where Are the Children? (June 9, 2019)
It started with the question I was asking myself and my friends what can we do to highlight the unfair separation of children from parents at the southern border? And a realization of personal conviction that "no child should go to bed without a parent or loved one to tuck them in at night". The immediate answer was a manifestation of my concern at my congregation UU Congregation of Columbia, MD. My friends and I hung up children's pajamas, to call attention to the fact that the government is violating a decades-old, court-approved agreement that migrant children should not be detained for more than 20 days and must be released to their parents or a family member.
With that success and encouragement, I am now asking UUs to help further this call by joining us June 9, 2019 on the National Mall, donating pajamas, offering sermons on the topic, referring us for helpful partnerships, posting to our facebook page, and helping to fund this effort with contributions through "gofundme.com". For more details on these steps, and what my friends and I have planned as the Where Are the Children Campaign to reunite separated families, as part of International Children's Day, read my commentary.
