Save Our Children Now Rally at the Colorado Capitol

Families belong together: That was the message of a community rally on June 24, 2018, when more than a thousand people gathered to protest President Donald Trump's immigration policies and his administration's treatment of children, as well as to support people who face having family members deported...or might be deported themselves.
