Keep California's Sanctuary State Status!
Jeff Sessions' Department of Justice just sent letters to nine "sanctuary" jurisdictions—including the state of California—threatening to pull federal funding if they don't comply with Donald Trump's cruel and inhumane deportation agenda that would separate thousands of families and communities.
Sanctuaries like California are safer and stronger.

Why is this important?
Refusing refugees denies them one of the most foundational human rights - the right to life - as their lives are deeply in jeopardy in the tumultuous countries from which they are fleeing. California has always been an influential state and not only will set an incredible example by retaining its status but will save lives in the process.
