Safe Communities for Massachusetts

We want passage for the Safe Communities Act (S.1681/H.2580) in the current 194th session, which will protect citizens and immigrants alike from the excesses of NHS ICE agents here in the Commonwealth.  The Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security referred the bill to the Joint Committee on Rules, which schedules all bills for debate and vote on the floor.  A similar bill has been filed every session by Senator Jamie Eldridge since the Obama Administration, only to fail because Rules never schedules it.  This violates the trust of the Commonwealth electorate, but most importantly, our immigrant community.  This petition will be delivered to the Chair of the committee.
