В Facebook за неделю собрали 20 миллионов долларов для мигрантов, разлученных с детьми

Жители Калифорнии Шарлотта и Дейв Уиллнер организовали в фейсбуке кампанию «Помогите мигранту воссоединиться со своим ребенком» и собрали почти 20 миллионов долларов за неделю.

Деньги пожертвовали более 520 тысяч человек. Первоначально Уиллнеры планировали собрать 1500 долларов, но средства стали поступать гораздо быстрее. Собранные деньги передадут в техасскую организацию RAICES, оказывающую юридическую помощь семьям иммигрантов и беженцев. Благодаря кампании Уиллнеров RAICES сможет выплатить залоги за тысячи мигрантов, которых задержали и поместили в центры временного содержания.

Поводом для кампании стала фотография американского фотографа Джона Мура: он стал свидетелем задержания женщины из Гондураса, которая вместе с двухлетней дочерью пыталась без документов попасть на территорию Техаса. Когда женщину стали обыскивать, ее ребенок расплакался.

A Honduran asylum seeker, 2, and her mother are taken into custody by federal agents near the US-Mexico border. They had just crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico and were to be transported to a US Customs and Border Protection processing center. The Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy for undocumented immigrants calls for the separation of parents and children while their cases for political asylum are adjudicated, a process that can take months — or years. As a father myself, this photograph was especially difficult for me to take. It is one from a series i took while on a ride-along with the Border Patrol in Texas’ Río Grande Valley. #gettyimages #undocumented #gettyimagesnews

Снимок Мура стал популярным, его опубликовали многие СМИ, а Time поместил на обложку. Президент США Дональд Трамп 20 июня подписал исполнительный указ, в соответствии с которым прекращается практика разлучения семей нелегальных иммигрантов.

For the first 240 years of U.S. history, at least, our most revered chief executives reliably articulated a set of high-minded, humanist values that bound together a diverse nation by naming what we aspired to: democracy, humanity, equality. The Enlightenment ideals Thomas Jefferson etched onto the Declaration of Independence were given voice by Presidents from George Washington to @barackobama. @realdonaldtrump doesn’t talk like that. In the 18 months since his Inauguration, #Trump has mentioned “democracy” fewer than 100 times, “equality” only 12 times and “human rights” just 10 times. The tallies, drawn from a searchable online agglomeration of 5 million of Trump’s words, contrast with his predecessors’: at the same point in his first term, #RonaldReagan had mentioned equality three times as often in recorded remarks, which included 48 references to human rights, according to the American Presidency Project at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Trump embraces a different set of values. He speaks often of #patriotism, albeit in the narrow sense of military duty, or as the kind of loyalty test he’s made to #NFL players. He also esteems religious liberty and economic vitality. But America’s 45th President is “not doing what rhetoricians call that ‘transcendent move,'” says Mary E. Stuckey, a communications professor at Penn State University and author of Defining Americans: The Presidency and National Identity. Instead, with each passing month he is testing anew just how far from our founding humanism his “America first” policies can take us. And over the past two months on our southern border, we have seen the result. Read this week's full cover story on TIME.com. TIME Photo-Illustration.
