This so-called “zero-tolerance” approach is part of a slate of policies the administration is using to curb legal immigration to the United States, including: enacting harsh administrative procedures; seeking to deny protection to women and girls fleeing gender-based violence; and turning away more asylum seekers at the border to prevent them from asserting their claims.

Philanthropy Responds to Charlottesville
The weekend of August 12, 2017 saw white nationalists from across the country march through Charlottesville, VA in protest to the planned removal of a statue of Confederate military leader Robert E. Lee. In response hundreds of counter protestors demonstrated in opposition. In an act of terrorism, one white supremacist drove his car at high speeds through a crowd of counter protesters resulting in the death of Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old woman, and at least 19 other people were injured.
