To: Governor Gavin Newsom
Stop the ICE Monster! Stop Deporting our Family Members! Urgent Call to Action! Sign on and tell ...
Despite touting himself as a friend to immigrant communities, California Governor Jerry Brown vetoed last year’s TRUST Act, a bill that would have saved tens of thousands of our family members—our mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters and community members— from being unfairly deported. Local police have no business enforcing immigration laws, but this is in effect what they are doing, sowing fear in our communities and breaking up families. In total, over 90,000 people have been deported in California alone through Secure Communities program. We must put a stop to this today.
Governor Brown, we demand that you keep your pledge to support a NEW TRUST Act and stop ripping our families apart.
A pesar de llamarse el amigo de las comunidades de inmigrantes, el Gobernador de California Jerry Brown vetó el TRUST Act (Acta de confianza) del año pasado, una propuesta de ley que hubiera detenido las deportaciones injustas de miles de nuestros familiares—nuestros padres, hermanos, hijos y miembros de la comunidad. Las policía local no tienen por qué vigilar el cumplimiento de las leyes de inmigración, pero sin embargo es lo que están haciendo, fomentando el miedo en nuestras comunidades y separando familias. En total, más de 90,000 personas han sido deportadas de sólo California a través del programa Comunidades seguras. Tenemos que frenar esto hoy mismo.
Gobernador Brown, le exigimos que mantenga su promesa de apoyo del NEW TRUST Act (Acta de la nueva confianza) y deje de estar separando familias.

Why is this important?
Over 95,000 Californians (that's over sixty people a day!) have been deported under Secure Communities, a federal immigration program designed to meet a federal deportation quota. In order to meet the deportation quota, federal ICE Agents target anybody who they can - including food street vendors and victims of domestic abuse.
Why We Want the TRUST ACT to Pass:
–The TRUST Act will help stop our family members from being deported.
–The TRUST Act will help improve public safety.
–The TRUST Act will be a spur for meaningful immigration reform at the national level.

Let’s rebuild trust in our community members and stop police from becoming immigration agents. Let’s keep our families together. Sign the petition and demand Jerry Brown sign the TRUST Act into law.
