to do Week of June 25:
Families Belong Together Rally!
Families Belong Together. Period. Join with us as we rally to demand that our country live up to its ideals and stop terrorizing innocent children and families for political gain on our southern border.
Our rally is family friendly-- our families, together will rally in solidarity with those affected by the family separation crisis. This is a free event. Please bring plenty of water and sun protection, as it will be hot! WEAR WHITE -- we will show our solidarity by joining the hundreds of thousands all over the country protesting this inhumane policy while all wearing white.
Our schedule includes:
11-1pm: Family Fair. A circuit of interactive activities that help families and children of all ages learn, in age appropriate ways, about the crisis on the border, the importance of immigrants and refugees in our country's history, and the role of protest and citizen advocacy in our democracy. Come make a protest sign, learn about the Statue of Liberty, check your voting registration, and much more.
12-1pm: Ask Me Anything about the family separation crisis. Experts from the fields of immigration law, child psychology, and history will be on hand to take questions and help us all understand the context and consequences of the disastrous family separation crisis.
1-2 pm: Rally. We will end with a rousing rally to show our solidarity for those affected. There will be a brief children's rally, speakers, and a final protest.

A letter to Rep. Goolatte from Lawyer Moms and their allies about the separation and detention of families. 6-29-18
Roanoke Indivisible celebrated our first birthday. 2017 was quite a year! January 3, 2017, we delivered New Year cards to Rep. Goodlatte's office and showed up on the Rachel Maddow show. January 3, 2018, we had cake at Bread Craft and then shared a couple of slices of cake with the staff in the offices of Senator Kaine and Senator Warner. Finally, we delivered retirement cards to Rep. Bob Goodlatte.
Roanoke Indivisible organized a welcome tent at Senator Tim Kaine's health care event.

Our fist Town Hall February 22 with Rep. Goodlatte did not produce a live version of the Congressman, but was attended by almost 300 of his constituents, all of whom had concerns that were passed on to his office. We hope that he will choose to attend the next Town Hall meeting in person.
February 17 and 18 2017 we all learned more about the Constitution.
