Stacey Abrams SPEAKS UP for children detained in Dilley, Texas, and nationwide

Published | Video Starts at 01:53

We were able to make it to the gates of Dilley and beyond. There you see this barren stretch of land and dormitories. It's basically a prison camp. And We have children being held in a prison camp in the United States not because they pose a risk, not because they were engaged in nefarious behavior, but simply because they were here and because we can. The work that I've been doing through the 10 Steps campaign is about how we reconnect our humanity to how we fight for our democracy. (01:53–02:08)
