Five Ways to Help Unaccompanied Minors Crossing the US-Mexico Border

Thanks to General Leadership Team CCVI

Many members of the NETWORK community have been asking for ways to help address the humanitarian crisis that is causing record numbers of immigrant children and families to make the treacherous journey from Central America to the United States. We wanted to let you know of a few options:
1. Find them shelter.

2. Advocate for them with Congress. Ask for additional funding for the Office of Refugee Resettlement, and insist that we protect these children.

3. Schedule a lobby visit with your member of Congress during the August Recess to talk more about this issue.

4. Seek out local opportunities with organizations like Catholic Charities, the San Diego Immigrant Rights Consortium...

5. Share your story! Tell us what your experiences are working with vulnerable populations and the unaccompanied minors.
