The Charlottesville Clergy Collective is co-sponsoring a "Families Belong Together" rally here in Charlottesville tomorrow to coincide with the other Families Belong Together events in DC and around the country to protest against the cruel and unjustified separation of children from their parents, and the detention of families along the U.S. border with Mexico and at other ports of entry into the U.S.
Here's information about joining us in the rally.
