'There are moms out there who will not get to experience this day...Mothers who don't know if they will ever get to see their children again,' said activist Meena Harris.
This Mother's Day, immigration advocates are asking families across the United States to remember the hundreds of mothers who are still separated from their children due to the Trump administration's hardline immigration policies.
Mothers across the U.S. are expected to share photos of their t-shirts on social media under the hashtag #phenomenalmothers, with proceeds of the $35 T-shirt sales going towards Families Belong Together, an organization that has been at the forefront of helping to reunite families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Phenomenal Mothers campaign comes just as this month marks the one-year anniversary of former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announcing the Trump administration's"zero tolerance" policy at the border, which saw adults caught crossing into the U.S. outside of designated ports of entry immediately jailed, while their children were taken into the custody of the Health and Human Services department.
However, the Trump administration has, so far, identified at least 2,816 children separated from their parents. Ultimately, Morales Rocketto told Newsweek, the true number of how many families have been and continue to be separated by the U.S. government, is nearly impossible to quantify. The activist said she believes it is also important to acknowledge that family separation in the U.S. extends far beyond the border."In so many ways the government is supporting a policy of family separation, whether it's due to mass incarceration or because of the family separation policy."
