Never, ever give up! Read the depressing headlines today? Well, before you do, remember that you have power, that we together can control the future makeup of Congress and of the U.S. Supreme Court (through who we elect to the U.S. Senate), and that we can win by making sure our friends and...

I steeled myself before playing the audio of the distraught immigrant children separated from their parents and shipped off to detention centers. I avoid movies with cruelty and violence. It felt important to hear the children’s voices. A few seconds was all that I could bear. I pressed the space...

The U.S. Supreme Court ruling this morning in Trump v. Hawaii is deeply disturbing.

The defeat of Speaker Paul Ryan's Border Security and Immigration Reform Act of 2018 in the House of Representatives is a welcome bit of good news at this time when the Trump administration and Congress are taking appalling actions that harm immigrants and asylum-seeking families.

Like you, I’ve been horrified by the cruel, vicious way the Trump administration has treated asylum-seeking families. Trump’s executive order on immigration this week still imprisons children. The moms of America have zero tolerance for these human rights abuses. We’re rallying at full throttle to...

For as long as I can remember, books have been my comfort and my refuge. I was also incredibly lucky to grow up in a family where I was given many opportunities to be read to and interact with books and stories including over the summers.
