How do we talk to our children about immigration detention — and help them respond with compassion instead of fear?

This faith-rooted and family-friendly resource is designed to help you read, reflect, create, and act together. Through Liam’s story, guided conversation prompts, and a simple paper doll activity, families can process what’s happening to children in detention and take meaningful, age-appropriate action.

At We Choose Welcome, we don’t believe it is ever okay to keep children in detention — especially in the conditions children and their families say they’ve experienced. Families should be allowed to pursue their immigration cases in their communities, with due process and access to family and local support.

Inside you’ll find:

• Liam’s story, written for children

• Reflection questions grounded in dignity and shared values

• A paper doll template and gathering ideas

• Simple ways to pray, advocate, and engage your community

Fill out the form below to get the toolkit and equip your family to live out a faith that chooses compassion, takes meaningful action, and stands for families to be free.
