Genocide does not require death.
Genocide is defined in many ways.
“Causing severe mental and physical harm to the group is genocide”
“Forcibly transferring the children of one group to another group is genocide”
Hey 🇺🇸 We are engaged in genocide.
Untrained, unlicensed personnel giving anti psychotic drugs to migrant babies and toddlers in detention centers will cause deaths.

Babies and toddlers require, REQUIRE love ❤️ to survive.
Babies and toddlers who are not held and touched fail to thrive.
Babies simply can’t go for days and months at a time without love.
Science and common humanity tells us babies will die in these genocide centers.
It’s been a month since we all saw videos and read reports of genocide centers run by our Federal government.
Senators and reporters have been denied access to the girls and babies.
Life goes on as our fascist genocidal government continues killing migrant kids.

What can you do in the face if this horror?
1) Call your senators and demand they pass @SenJeffMerkley bill to allow Congress Access to Detention facilities so we can expose what is happening.

What can you do, ordinary person?
3) #StandOnEveryCorner
Is a movement for regular folk to make a sign and pick a corner in their own neighborhood and stand for democracy.
Check the hashtag for inspiration and join the movement.
5 Minutes or an hour, one day, or every day.
I happened to be in Egypt during their revolution in 2011.
People made signs and hit the streets.
Nothing fancy, nothing expensive, just hit the corner.
It took two weeks and dictator Mubarak was forced to step down after 30 years in power.
Protests work.
#BabyJails
Protests work.
Make a sign.
Hit a corner.
Any corner.
Make 5 people see your sign.
They will be forced to think and talk about #babyjails.
