What’s Next? Postcard Campaign

Walk for the Children / Caminata por la Niñez

Whether or not you can join us in El Paso on April 30 (RSVP here: Walk for the Children/La Caminata), you can write to the Biden Administration using these cards!

Witness at the Border is hosting an in-person action, Walk for the Children/Caminata por las Niñez in El Paso, Texas on April 30, to call attention to immigrant children confined in U.S. custody. Witnesses will walk from the Paso del Norte Bridge at the El Paso border with Juarez, Mexico to Ft. Bliss Army Base where over 2,000 immigrant children are being held. For those who cannot attend this live event, we encourage you to act in solidarity with an action in your own community and/or mail postcards to elected officials.
