Episode Description:

Welcome to a Special Episode of Grandmothers on the Move! I’m your host, Ilana Landsberg-Lewis. Today, I am speaking to Grandmothers on a mission… 2 Grandmother Representatives from Grannies Respond/Abuelas Responden – an action caravan of Grandmothers and GrandOthers across the U.S. (from New York to McAllen, Texas) to protest the government’s policy on separation of children from migrant parents fleeing violence and crossing the border, they are demanding reunification of the children with their families. And an interview with Liz DeCou, a nurse and now an advocate joining the same struggle, who was arrested in California when she tried to deliver toys and solace to migrant children in ‘detention’. Grandmothers taking a stand! It brings hope to us all.

We are grannies on a mission. We are outraged by the cruel and inhumane way our government is treating immigrant children and their families who have risked all to find refuge from violence and oppression

We’ve been around long enough to know right from wrong. We’ve spent our lives caring for others. And we won’t stand for this.
