Children don’t belong in immigration detention. They deserve freedom and to be with their families.
At the Dilley facility in Texas, 1,000+ people, including infants, are held with limited protection.
Congress must reject funding to expand detention. #EndFamilyDetention #FamiliesBelongTogether
#ICYMI 📣: U.S. District Judge Cobb rules that DHS cannot block Congress from showing up unannounced at ICE detention facilities. For the third time, the court sides with lawmakers. The one-week notice policy? Shut down. Humane treatment does not need advance notice.

Sex Ed Works leaders, like Auri who shared the quote above, are supporting #consent education through our caregiver workshops. When we teach #caregivers how to have conversations about consent with their young people, we empower the next generation to set boundaries and advocate for their needs.
This #SexEdWeekofAction we are reminded of a conversation that kicked off our #SexEdWorks campaign!
“I assumed my 4 children learned these topics as part of their sexual health education...but my teenagers had never heard of consent or ever had a dialogue in school about healthy relationships”.
Will you be our valentine? 💋💖🍬💜🌸💛

People in winter gear, some in day-glo vests march down a sidewalk carrying signs that say ICE out for good
People line up in winter gear along the side of a busy street holding flags and signs that say things like Hold ICE accountable
Hundreds of people fill an auditorium
People rally by the side of a street with signs that say things like stop ICE murder and hate crimes

If you care about gender-based violence, consider HTA.
If you care about Chicago communities, consider HTA.
If you care about survivor-leadership and #organizing, consider HTA.
If you care about #immigrants, families, education, health, or violence prevention—there’s a way into HTA for everyone.
In the wake of increased military and law enforcement presence, many people are asking what they can do to help support our Chicago neighbors. Donating to HTA’s year-end #fundraiser is one transformative thing you can do today to ensure survivors have access to resources, care, and community.
Through every chapter of my involvement with Healing to Action, one thing has stayed the same: HTA’s unwavering fight for a world where those most impacted by gender-based violence feel safe and heard. Join our survivor-led movement by donating to our year-end campaign at our link in bio!
#Donate
From the Epstein #survivors to Gisele Pelicot to survivors of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, survivors' courage cannot be overstated. But ending gender-based violence requires everyone's participation, not just heroic survivors. We must build a future where no survivor feels the burden of leadership alone.
"I feel grateful every day to work with Healing to Action’s survivor–leaders—they teach me so much through their leadership and courage. Your support helps keep our community and survivor-led movement thriving.
Make your gift today at our link in bio."
