I’m United Methodist. from the General Commission on Race and Religion, and she was inspired, informed and grew in her commitment to eliminate racism.

Help young people send letters and drawings to Congress and President Trump
We invite children and youth to write letters to Congress and President Trump, urging members and the president to do everything they can to child detention and family separation.
![Two hand drawn letters to members of Congress. The first is a a child's hand drawn stick figure family with the words, "Keep families together! Abraham Carr."
The second is more complex, with a colorful rainbow circle with handwritten text on the inside. The text reads, "Thomas Merton said, 'We are already one, but we fear we are not.' I believe separating migrant families is motivated by fear. I would rather explore our oneness and live into it.
