In the summer of 2018 a group of outraged grandparents from Beacon NY took a road trip to McAllen Texas to protest the policy of separating migrant families at the US Mexican border.
“From Beacon To The Border” documents the Grannie’s journey from NY to Texas, and the growth of the Grannies Respond Movement from its origin as an idea into a nationwide network of hundreds of grandparents who assists immigrants and refugees at bus stations across the country, as they make their way to host families who house them as they await their court dates. It’s an inspiring story of a group of concerned citizens who have profoundly impacted many lives!
