Members and supporters of the Walpole Peace and Justice Group  gathered on the Walpole Common on Saturday, August 2, 2014 and Wednesday,  August 6, 2014 to bring attention to the plight of the Unaccompanied Child Refugees. Tens of thousands of young refugees have fled Central  America and are seeking safety in the United States.  The vigil in Walpole called on the U.S. President and Congress to stop deportations, increase relief for America’s immigrant families, and protect unaccompanied children who have sought refuge in the United States.
