tl;dr: join us for the Children’s March to Protect Immigrant Families - Thursday, April 19 at 12 noon at the Statehouse. Children and adults encouraged to attend!   Dear Matthew,   Immigrant families are being ripped apart. Children are being made orphans by state-sponsored kidnappings of their parents. This is a crisis with deep moral and social implications.   On Thursday, April 19, join ECCO, MCAN, and more than 30 organizations from across the state who will join together for a Children’s March to Protect Immigrant Families.Children from across the state will lead us around the Statehouse delivering hundreds of children's’ letters calling on our elected officials to take real and meaningful action to protect immigrant families.     Here's what you can do: Show up at the Statehouse on Thursday, April 19 at noon with children of all ages if possible. Ask children in your families, communities, and congregations to write letters to Governor Baker and Speaker DeLeo urging them to take action to protect immigrant families. These should be written by children and from the heart! Be sure to bring them with you on Thursday or email labdow@mcan-pico.org.   Also next week, join MCAN leaders on Tuesday, April 17 at 8:30am on the third floor, courtroom 8 of the JFK Building in Boston to bear witness to the children's immigration court hearings. The cases of young children, often without representation, are heard and sometimes deportation orders are given. Our presence in these courtrooms, to show that we care, matters.   Join us as we band together to protect immigrant families across our state.   With gratitude, Luke Abdow
