Sanctuary policies can help prevent the separation of families by limiting the involvement of local law enforcement in federal immigration enforcement actions. By protecting vulnerable populations from deportation, sanctuary cities can help maintain the stability of their communities, keeping families together and preventing disruptions to social and economic structures. Sanctuary policies can help build trust between immigrant communities and local law enforcement, allowing for better collaboration on public safety initiatives.  By signing this petition, you agree to supporting local policies that protect undocumented immigrants by limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities. 

Everglades National Park is in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone—meaning buildings should be constructed to withstand winds of 180 miles per hour. But the Everglades detention camp is made up of flimsy tents, bunk beds, and chain fences—it’s blatantly unsafe for those being held there. The facility has already flooded once from normal levels of rain.  Beyond endangering human lives, the Everglades detention camp also threatens one of the country’s most fragile ecosystems. Journalists have already struggled to report on the facility because of the swarms of mosquitoes, some of which can carry dangerous diseases. And if industrial mosquito repellents are used, the environmental harm toward the Everglades and its nationally protected land could be staggering. DeSantis and his allies have refused entry to Democratic representatives demanding to exercise their legal duties to conduct oversight because they know how appalling the conditions inside are. The cruel and inhumane environment at Everglades detention camp is by design—it’s exactly what Trump and his cronies want. Sign the petition to expedite the camp’s shutdown and reject any replication of these disastrous conditions at other facilities! 

Americans believe strong communities - rural, suburban, and urban - are built on hope, compassion, and shared responsibility. My family is a private humanitarian parole sponsor of two Ukrainian families from Sumy and Zaporizhzhia, respectively and a supporter of many others including mom and her family in the above picture. Our church community has also walked alongside another family from Odessa, Ukraine, helping them find safety and stability in central North Carolina.  Providing a form of immigration extension for these Ukrainian families empowers our communities’ ability to live out our faith in transformative ways.   Losing these individuals who work hard and pay taxes, who gladfully repair our appliances, who joyously serve in retirement centers and who proudly deliver our food would be a devastating loss for our communities. Let’s let them stay until it’s safe to go home.

Donald J. Trump does not deserve a Nobel Prize because of the havoc he is creating internationally as well as at home.  He is damaging international relations and the standing of the United States through his actions regarding tariffs, his bullying of our neighbors and allies, as well as his administration’s threatening of Ukraine.  His mass deportations of immigrants who are legally pursuing legal status in uncalled for in a democratic country. 

Donald Trump’s escalation of immigration sweeps across California has led to hundreds of arrests—ripping families apart, disappearing people from the street, and sowing chaos.  Immigration raids across California are sparking fear among families, small business owners, and entire communities. Food-truck vendors are staying home, students are missing school, and families are missing critical health care appointments.  New York City and Chicago have vibrant immigrant communities that are also part of baseball’s diverse and rich history. These cities are also being targeted by Trump’s inhumane mass deportation raids. The New York Mets and Yankees, as well as the Chicago Cubs and White Sox, should match the LA Dodgers' $1 million commitment and support immigrant neighbors. Add your name.

We, the undersigned residents and community members of Key West, Florida, respectfully petition for the immediate release of Edward Lee Martin Stinton, who was recently detained by Border Patrol and is now being held in ICE custody.

We are not terrorists. We are not criminals. We are people who are suffering. We legally won the Diversity Visa Lottery, and we have the right to enjoy this opportunity just like everyone else. We are fleeing war in our country and asking for help — not to harm, but to live a better life and build a future for ourselves and our children.

When community members protested Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) raids to protect their neighbors this weekend, they were met with what The New York Times called, “an extraordinary show of force.” “Dozens of federal agents wearing helmets and green camouflage arrived in two hulking armored trucks and other unmarked vehicles, and were soon approached by a crowd of immigrant activists and supporters. Some agents carried riot shields and others held rifles, as well as shotguns that appeared to be loaded with less-than-lethal ammunition.” This is mass deportation under Trump. Now that he has deployed thousands of National Guard troops along with 700 active duty Marines to crush protests in the Los Angeles area, more violent intimidation and threats to free speech are likely. Troops and tanks don’t belong on LA’s streets, or anywhere. But the horrifying reality is that Trump’s military flex likely won’t be limited to southern California or his DC tank parade — and that’s why we’re reaching out today with an urgent call. This is no time for business as usual. Senators have a crucial role to play in securing an end to the ICE raids and Trump’s violence-first responses. The good news? They’re more likely to do it if they hear from you today.

Service Employees International Union (SEIU) of California President David Huerta was assaulted, injured, and detained while advocating for immigrant workers. He was hospitalized for a head injury sustained during his arrest, but the federal government has charged him with with conspiracy to impede an officer. David, a husband and father of two, is also a well-known and beloved community member. From organizing with Justice for Janitors to his decades of work with SEIU, Huerta has been a champion for workers in Los Angeles. In 2014, he was awarded the National Champion of Change from then-President Barack Obama for his advocacy and commitment to fighting for immigrant neighbors. And now, the Trump administration threatens to imprison him.  The Trump administration is trying to silence civil unrest and using workers like David to intimidate everyday people from exercising their fundamental rights. Add your name to show your solidarity with David and the immigrant workers across the country that he was defending.

No matter how Trump and Stephen Miller dress them up, their recently announced travel ban and ALL the others they have attempted amount to the same thing: A racist immigration policy that leaves people to suffer and struggle. Communities across the country have recently seen their neighbors disappeared, abducted, detained, and deported. With the latest iteration of Trump’s infamous Muslim Ban set to go into effect as soon as 12:01 AM on June 9, the chaos, fear, and harm will only deepen. Make no mistake: Travel bans do not make anyone safer. Centering bigotry and hatred at the heart of U.S. immigration policy will only separate families, demonize immigrants, and strip our country of the values — of the people — who help make it great. But we anticipated this move, and that’s why we’re ready to demand the kind of policies that keep people — everywhere — safe. The good news? Champions in Congress are speaking out. That’s the kind of leadership necessary to repeal these hateful bans, remind the White House that Congress — and people like us — have a say in our governance, and send a crucially needed message of hope and welcome to people whose lives Trump is upending. It’ll take a sustained groundswell of opposition in the coming days and months to make it happen. How do we get that? You. Sign now to send every member of Congress a loud and clear message: No Ban Ever.

It’s a budget betrayal of working families, immigrants, and communities already pushed to the brink:  Congressional Republicans would funnel TRILLIONS to weapons contractors, private prison profiteers, and mass deportation operators. The kicker? They’d gut essential programs like Medicaid and SNAP to pay for it all.  If this bill reaches the President’s desk, it’ll do one thing: Embolden an unaccountable MAGA regime deadset on prioritizing billionaires' wallets over our communities' needs. The House passed this budget reconciliation package — and exposed deep divisions within Republican ranks that put this bill on thin ice in the Senate. It gives us an opportunity to derail these misguided priorities as this dangerous budget inches closer to the finish line. To seize it, your Senators need to hear from you now:
