So, I did not initially have plans to continue this story, but due to recent events I am reaching out to you all with a challenge. Many of you have heard or know about the absolutely nightmare situation that is the Trump Administration's immigration policy. We know about it, we know it is inhumane, we know that it is terrible, and yet most of us do not know what we can do as an individual to make a difference. Well my friends, I have found out about one avenue where we can make a tangible difference: bail. When ICE detains immigrants, there is no real limit for how long they are legally allowed to detain individuals and if they don't pay bail, their cases are fast-tracked and thus more likely to result in deportation. There are several fundraising organizations that are trying to help as many individuals as they can to pay bail, which I will list below. So here is my challenge: If you donate to any of these organizations and send me a photo/screenshot as proof- my email is elaine. mcattybeth gmail. com (ignore the spaces, formatting is being rude), I will write another chapter for every us$10 donated.
