We need Congress to do everything within their power to end the separation of families at the border. Since April 19 this policy has already separated nearly 2,000 children from their parents. We cannot remain silent while this cruel, unjust and unnecessary policy is implemented. We speak out in Jesus name -- because as his followers we cannot remain silent, particularly as our leaders have used Scripture to defend this policy. 

Congress can urge the Administration to reverse this policy, and come up with legislative solutions that would end such cruelty. We ask that they do so quickly, decisively and make it so that no future administration can ever separate children from asylum seeking or immigrant parents again.

We know that God is with these children and parents, and grieves deeply at what is being done to his most vulnerable children, so we too stand with them.

If you're like me, and deeply care about just, ethical practices of production, you might, like me, wish to boycott purchasing all together because of what we know about the industry of clothing, food, home goods, etc. But let's face it: we still need to dress ourselves and eat breakfast before we leave the house.

The good news, is that we can actually do good while purchasing essential - and nonessential - products. Here is a list of our vetted, and many personally tried-and-true, companies that we love. These companies do everything from taking plastic bottles to make your new favorite fleece or plush blanket, to empowering women through work and education. We hope this list helps to get you started, or meaningfully adds to your existing list. 

As a side note: thrift and second-hand shopping is a GREAT way to go, and I actually always suggest this before purchasing brand new items. There is already an overabundance of clothing items out there that, if not picked up, will spend their second life in a landfill, often times in countries in the Global South.

Did you know that the world now consumes about 80 billion new pieces of clothing every year, and the average American now generates 82 pounds of textile waste each year? That's about 11 million tons of textile waste from the U.S. alone. The lifespan of new clothing - from production, to transportation, laundry, and the end of life in a landfill - produces a significant amount of hazardous chemicals and greenhouse gases.
