On four consecutive Sundays, community members and participants with Indivisible Sequim and MoveOn have rallied at the corner of Priest Road and West Washington Street seeking support to reunite migrant children with their families in the US.

“We’ll be here until all the kidnapped children are returned to their parents,” said Sally Franz of Indivisible Sequim on July 15.

Participants encouraged drivers to call their senators and the Justice Department to increase efforts to reunite children with their parents separated at the southern US border.

“We’re not going to let this go,” Franz said. She welcomes anyone to join from 12:30-2 p.m. each Sunday.”
