The Butterfly Effect: Detained Children Spark a Youth-Movement

11-year old Kaia and 10-year old Lily were heartbroken when they first heard about the 15,000 kids at the US-Mexico border locked up and separated from their parents. With the help of friends and family, they aspired to gather 15,000 butterflies to help raise awareness. To date, this kid-led effort has gathered over 30,000 love-filled butterflies, and The Butterfly Effect is quickly gaining traction. Next stop, they'll be displaying all the butterflies in the Senate before they migrate to the detention centers, where they will actually be displayed and received by the migrant children.
