Because we should not forget that Ronald Regan, a Republican, begged Soviet Premier Gorbachev to tear down the Wall that divided Berlin. Who do we think we are using my tax payer money to build a wall that the majority of Americans do not want. Use our tax dollars to help America and Americans.

On February 17, Juan Manuel Montes was walking to a taxi stand in his hometown in California when he was approached by border officials and asked for his papers. Though Juan was legally authorized to live and work in America through the DACA program, he was deported to Mexico just hours later. This is a direct consequence to Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda and the acts of an unaccountable agency. Juan Manuel must be reunited with his family in California as soon as possible. Join us in demanding Secretary Kelly take immediate action.

This petition is in support of refugee resettlement in Northwest Arkansas.

The Community Safety Act is the product of years of work and compromise by Providence activists. This legislation will help protect the Providence community, specifically people of color and undocumented immigrants. Provisions include making Providence a sanctuary city BY LAW, preventing police from harassing civilians who are recording police legally, and more.

Years ago I read about a grandfather who received a parking ticket and rather than mail it in, he went to the police station to pay it and INS was waiting for him. He had lived here for 50 YEARS but was deported and torn away from his wife, their children, AND their grandchildren. I never forgot this. There are children who have not seen their mothers or fathers in YEARS! When the Laws are unfair & incomplete & remain unchanged, then a NEW path to both Citizenship and New LAW for AMNESTY needs to immediately step in to Remove the INJUSTICE! Either we Stand for Justice, Equality, Freedom with Ethics and Integrity we like to "think" we possess as Americans, or we do not, but IF we do then AMNESTY FOR ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS NEEDS TO BE GRANTED NOW plus Pressure for New Legislation which allows the "deported" to return and an EASY and CLEAR PATH to Citizenship. Not all Immigrants have a 21 yr old child to sponsor them, nor especially mothers and fathers, but they have brothers and sisters and cousins and then there are ALL THE EMPLOYERS who should upon hiring sign a document stating that they will SPONSOR their Employee after three years and, in case there are those employers who might use this document as a form of blackmail, they will have to sign and give a similar document to the immigrant employee, signed and dated, that they (employer) will do so under Penalty of Law and a hefty FINE (to be determined by the State Legislature) if the employer defaults or attempts to extend the Three Year Date!

These bills, including HB471, HB341, HB63, HB35, HB306, HB113, SB188, SB145, target sanctuary cities, campuses and more. Urge North Carolina's legislature to stop targeting immigrants

The California Values Act will help all of us be safe. People who are undocumented can contact law enforcement when they are victimized or witness a crime. This makes us all safer. If people who are undocumented are fearful of the law, then all of us will suffer. California must stand up to Trump and stop the state’s law enforcement personnel from being part of Trump’s Mass Deportation Army.

I had grandparents who fled Cossacks in Russia and thankfully immigrated from Poland to the US before the Holocaust. My family appreciates the grace and dignity of a human life, and we stand for justice for all those who are being persecuted today. #Indivisible

ACLU: The United States Constitution forbids the government from discriminating on the basis of religion. Trump's executive order is motivated by bias against Muslims, as confirmed by the President’s own public statements, as well as the absence of any rational justification for the categorical exclusion of individuals from the seven identified nations or the complete ban on refugees from around the world. The religious discrimination involved in the Executive Order is inconsistent with the bedrock Establishment Clause and equal protection principle that the government should never favor one religion over another. The order profoundly, directly and irreparably harms people throughout the United States, destabilizing the lives of thousands of individuals and their families – including those seeking to live, find refuge, visit, study or work in the State of Arizona. Under the Order, US citizens and legal permanent residents are unable to maintain their relationships with their families when their family members are denied entry at our borders. Those fleeing persecution cannot find a safe harbor here. And workers and students with valid visas will lose their right to live, work, and study here if they travel abroad.

287(g) is an immigration enforcement program that deputizes local law enforcement to act as immigration officials. Research shows that 287(g) erodes community trust in local police and sheriff's offices, drains local resources, and separates families. It, also, leads to significant increase in civil rights violations and racial profiling. Knox County in particular with its already long history of civil rights violations, racial profiling, and jail overcrowding, would be a terrible candidate for such a program. Thus, Knox County Sheriff's Office's Application for 287(g) should be opposed. Sign this petition and TIRRC's letter to Secretary Kelly and Acting Director Homan to deny Knox County's 287(g) application.

Lobbyists with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC] are pressing Members of Congress to co-sponsor bills that attack the Iran nuclear agreement by imposing new sanctions on Iran [S.722 & H.R.1698] [1] and attack Palestinian self-determination by promoting Israeli settlements in the West Bank [S.720 & H.R.1697]. [2] S.722 would designate part of Iran's military as a terrorist organization, which would obstruct contact between the U.S. and Iranian militaries. U.S. military leaders have opposed this move on the grounds that it would undermine the U.S. fight against ISIS in Iraq. [3] S.720 & H.R.1697 would erase the distinction in U.S. law between Israel and Israeli settlements in the West Bank and make it illegal for U.S. companies to boycott or otherwise discriminate against Israeli settlements in the West Bank based on calls by the United Nations or the European Union. [4] Urge your Senators and Representative to oppose these bills by signing our petition.

Every day we read about the effects of deportations and the threat of deportation faced by our immigrant neighbors: five-year olds too anxious to go to kindergarten; parents who must make "contingency" plans for their U.S. citizen children; crime victims and witnesses too frightened to call police; people afraid to go to the jobs they depend on to feed their families. We hear the stories and see the stress on the faces of the people we work with, who live on our block, the people we teach or go to school with, the families who worship alongside us. The California Values Act will ensure that state and local resources are not used to fuel mass deportations, separate families, or spread fear throughout our communities. Under the California Values Act, state and local law enforcement agencies and school police and security departments will not engage in immigration enforcement. No state or local resources will be used to investigate, detain, detect, report, or arrest persons for immigration enforcement purposes. And regardless of whether state or local resources are implicated, no state or local law enforcement agency will detain or transfer any person for deportation without a judicial warrant. Civic institutions that serve the public - like schools, health facilities, courthouses, and the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement- will remain safe and accessible to all California residents, regardless of immigration status. They will establish and publicize policies that limit assistance with immigration enforcement to the fullest extent possible consistent with federal and state law. Please sign this petition and ask your legislators and Gov. Brown to affirm California's values by enacting Senate Bill 54 into law.
