is more than a celebration of freedom—it is a powerful reminder of resilience, perseverance, and the ongoing pursuit of equality and justice.

Today, we honor the day when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned of their emancipation, and we recognize the generations who fought tirelessly for liberty and opportunity.

As we celebrate Black history, culture, and contributions, we also reflect on the work that remains to ensure freedom, dignity, and equality for all. Let us honor the legacy of those who came before us by continuing to build a more just and inclusive future.

New research from the Brookings Institution estimates that over 145,000 U.S.-citizen children may have experienced parental immigration detention since January 2025.

Behind detention numbers are families, children, and communities navigating trauma and separation.
At BNHR, we believe communities deserve dignity, stability, and human rights—not fear and family separation.

El en la frontera tiene un significado distinto. 🫂

Durante casi nueve años, BNHR, a través de , ha sido testigo de algunos de los momentos más poderosos de amor y resiliencia: madres abrazando a sus hijos después de años separados, familias reuniéndose entre lágrimas, sonrisas y esperanza. ❤️‍🩹

Estos momentos nos recuerdan que detrás de cada debate migratorio hay familias. Madres. Hijos e hijas. Personas que continúan amándose a través de las fronteras, a pesar de los muros, la distancia, la detención y la separación.

En este Día de las Madres, honramos la fuerza, el sacrificio y la valentía de las madres en nuestras comunidades fronterizas y más allá. Honramos a cada madre que ha luchado por mantener unida a su familia, a cada madre que continúa amando desde la distancia y a cada familia que espera el día en que pueda abrazarse libremente de nuevo. 🌹

El amor de una madre no conoce fronteras — y la dignidad, la compasión y la humanidad tampoco deberían conocerlas.

Honk if you believe families belong together, not in cages. 🚗📢

Today, our community took to the streets for a car caravan and press conference to oppose the rise of ICE “warehouse” detention facilities.

From El Paso to communities across the country, we’re saying NO to mass detention.
