Brooklyn children, Clarke walk in support
of migrant children at the border
By Nelson A. King
Well bundled up in the bitterly
cold weather, children in
Brooklyn on Saturday morning
joined Congresswoman
Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09) in
walking to support migrant
children at the US southern
border.
After receiving letters from
local youth expressing concern
about what’s happening at the
southern border, Clarke, the
daughter of Jamaican immigrants,
said she put together
Brooklyn’s “Children Support
Children’s Walk.”
“Today’s walk provided
local children and community
members who are disgusted
with what’s happening at the
southern border an opportunity
to come together in solidarity
against the Trump Administration’s
racist and xenophobic
policies,” Clarke told Caribbean
Life afterwards.
“We have a Bigot-in-Chief
who is separating families
at our southern border,” she
added. “Donald Trump is a
racist who is using children as
pawns in his anti-immigrant
agenda.
“But no child nor person
should be subjected to live in
inhumane conditions, let alone
die from where the American
government has caged them,”
the congresswoman continued.
“As a country founded on
checks and balances, we must
provide a check on what is
happening at our border.”
She said that Saturday’s –

– “boldly provides a
check on Trump, his administration
and those who blindly
follow his racist actions.”
“Today, we walk to show the
world that we will resist – that
we are resisting Trump’s border
policies,” Clarke said.
The American Civil Liberties
Union (ACLU) estimated
that thousands of children at
the southern border have been
separated from their families
due to Trump’s policies.
Clarke said the actual
number of separated kids is
unknown and is explained in
the Department of Homeland
Security’s (DHS) inspector
general’s report in October.
“DHS struggled to provide
accurate, complete, reliable
data on family separations,”
the report says.
As they walked from Atlantic
Avenue, in front of Barclays
Center Plaza, to Vanderbilt
Avenue, and ended at Grand
Army Plaza, participants
chanted: “Release the children
at our border” and “Families
belong together.”
The walk started and was
followed by a program including
remarks from local children
and speakers from New
York State Sen. Kevin Parker’s
office, Councilwoman Laurie
Cumbo’s office, New Sanctuary
Coalition, Don’t Separate
Families, Brownsville Collaborative
Middle School, CAMBA,
NYPD Explorers, MESA and
MACACADEMY.

RELIEVES BACK PAIN
Surgeons perform an estimated 300,000 to 400,000
back surgeries every year. Annually, neurosurgeons
perform at least 100,000 operations for lumbar disc
disease alone, and orthopedic surgeons perform a
similar number. It is estimated that between 20% and
40% of these operations are unsuccessful.
That is why doctors from all over the country
are racing to acquire and get trained to operate the
DRX9000TM, an FDA approved device that is saving
thousands of Americans suffering from chronic back
pain from going under the knife.
Dr. Melinda Keller, who treats serious back
pain without surgery explains how the DRX9000TM
works... “Over 10 years ago, NASA began to notice
an unexpected result of space travel: Astronauts that
left with back pain would come back without it. After
investigated this now phenomenon here’s what they
found: During the anti-gravity state of the mission there
were decompressive forces on the intervertebral discs
and back pain was relieved. How? When you travel
through space, the effects of gravity are removed
and you are in a weightless state. All the pressure is
taken off your spine and discs. Even better — and
this is the key — a negative pressure is created. This
negative pressure actually sucks the herniated material
back into the disc and allows it to heal. Thanks to the
DRX9000TM, disc herniation sufferers finally have a
non-surgical solution.”
The main conditions the DRX9000TM has documented
success with are back pain, sciatica, herniated
and/or bulging discs (single or multiple), degenerative
disc disease, facet syndromes and a relapse or failure
following back surgery.
Anyone wishing to learn more about this new
FDA approved solution to back pain or to set up an
appointment for a free consultation call Dr. Keller’s
office at 718 234-6212 or visit Brooklyn Spine
Center, 5911 16th Ave., Brooklyn, New York 11204.
