Description:

Split at the Root follows the emotional journey of mothers separated from their children at the U.S. border and the grassroots initiative that, against all odds, reunites those families. When a Guatemalan mother seeking asylum was separated from her kids under the Zero Tolerance Policy, a Facebook post by a mom in Queens coalesced into a movement as thousands of like-minded women across the US refused to stand by quietly. Immigrant Families Together was born - a rapid response group committed to doing what the government couldn't - or wouldn't do: reunite parents with their children separated by the Zero Tolerance Policy.

💚As a self funded initiative, donations are what makes it possible for us to continue offering this community building and popular education programming! We ask that you donate the price of a ticket to help cover costs for the film series, though nobody will be turned away for lack of funds.💜

The Undocumented Women's Fund is an immigrant-led and volunteer-run organization that depends on the strength of our community to maintain operations. All funds will go towards continuing our work as community care and organizing network building collective power among and address the needs of Spanish speaking immigrant women and gender expansive people. 🔥

We encourage you to arrive early to learn more about our School Care Circle and Emergency Preparedness project and how you can join this community care and safety network for immigrant families at risk of sudden family separation.
