If you care about how increasingly fascist governments treat children who have seen and escaped violence, please keep on reading.
It will be, in fact, a very short read.
What I’m inviting you to do is watch my quick video in which I present to you a lovely organisation that does life-changing work with immigrant children in the U.S.
These are the children oftentimes fleeing violence in Central America, in which the empire itself – the U.S. – has also played a role decades ago (more on that in my upcoming posts).
In the US immigration court system, even children face immigration judges alone, without the right to a court-appointed lawyer.
โThis is the harsh reality that Lia, a 12-year-old asylum seeker from Honduras, faced. Despite fleeing sexual abuse and seeking safety in the US, she was deported back to her abuser due to lack of legal representation.
– Immigrant Children’s Defence Project by Project Libertad
Please watch my video and consider supporting and amplifying the work of Project Libertad in the ways that you can, including following them on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
To see their website, go here. You can also go straight to their donation page or to see their volunteer opportunities.
I know so much is happening in the world. Yet, fortunately for our humanity, solidarity isn’t a finite resource. I invite you to stand in it with those who have never chosen to be in such a vulnerable situation.
In the end, if not with children, with whom do we stand?
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.

How The World Cup in a Fascist Country Looks, and How Nothing Can Be Expected of FIFA
How the U.S. is treating athletes coming to compete in the World Cup would only be surprising to those who either don’t know too much about rise of fascism in the U.S., or the history of FIFA itself.
