Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights

@theyoungcenter.bsky.social

We are a champion for kids in an immigration system not designed to treat them as children, by helping ensure that their best interests come first.

Our children deserve to live within the safety of their own families and communities.

The mass deportation agenda has left children without one or both parents. Our immigration system should keep families together, not forcibly separate them.

Canada Warbler perched on a long thin twig, looking upward as a beam of light filters through the understory leaves, illuminating sparkling dust particles. The bird is mostly yellow, with a "necklace" of black streaking, a yellow eyering, and gray back.

Digital illustration of a female Varied Thrush, a chunky songbird with a soft orange belly and brow and a muted gray-brown cap, back, and band across the breast. She is perched as if lit by pale sunrise in a dark, misty coniferous forest.

Illustration of a powerful Harpy Eagle perched up high on a mossy branch. It peers down at you with head tilted as if sizing you up. Prominent in the image are its massive thick yellow feet with huge talons, legs as thick as a human arm. It is lit by dappled sunlight filtering through forest leaves.

Illustration of a male Violet-backed Starling perched on a thin branch in front of abstract vivid greenery. His entire upperside - head, back, and wings - are shimmering violet-magenta with hints of red and orange where the light hits just right, contrasting with his pure white belly.

Illustration of a Luzon Bleeding-heart, a dove with a patch of deep red feathers in the center of the breast that look as though the bird has a bleeding wound. Otherwise its cap is gray, throat is white, lower belly is orange, and the wings are barred blue-gray and black. It is perched on a mossy log amidst lush green, implying a tropical jungle.

Illustration of a Coppersmith Barbet, a large-headed, large-billed bird with a clown-like face pattern of red, black, and yellow. The bird otherwise is mostly green with spots of turquoise on the nape and wings. It is perched with its back to us on the branch of a fig tree, and has a piece of fig fruit in its beak - likely torn from the broken fruit on the top of a cluster to the bird's right.

We're so grateful for people like Sandy 💛 She is one of our dedicated Waymakers participants this year and she recently ran at the Dutchess Classic 5k and contributed her miles to the challenge!

Children should be able to live in a world where they feel free, safe and protected... In a place where their voices are heard and their lives are seen.
