No Kids in Cages UPDATE: the fundraising campaign aimed at helping the migrant children separated from their parents at the southern US border has exploded. Organizers say the original fundraising goal of  $24K was met within 24  hours, The goal has since been hiked to $200K and is likely to be increased again as donations continue to pour in. Moreover, the campaign is now offering other like-minded #kidlit writers the chance to add their own names to the original statement in opposition to family separation. Even though the Trump administration has reversed its policy on removing children from their parents, there is no clear plan to reunite children currently in custody with their parents.
