Split At The Root

Mar 18, 2022

9:00pm – 10:40pm CT

Check out the Conference Session with Split at the Root's Producer Miranda Bailey: https://schedule.sxsw.com/2022/events/PP1141672

When a Guatemalan mother seeking asylum was separated from her kids under Zero Tolerance Policy, a Facebook post by a mom in Queens coalesced into a movement as thousands of like-minded women across the US refused to stand by quietly. Immigrant Families Together was born; a rapid response group committed to doing what the government couldn't - or wouldn't do: reunite parents with their children separated by the Zero Tolerance Policy.

Families separated at the border made headlines in 2018, prompting protests and policy changes. Over 2,000 children's reunification status are still unknown and thousands of people impacted by separations are still suffering the effects of pursuing asylum.
