Declare their cities as a Sanctuary of Safety!
Why is this important?
Undocumented Immigrants like myself are under attack: President-elect Trump has already said that in the first 100 days of office he would cancel DACA, a program that provides undocumented youth with work permits & protection from deportation, and begin deporting 2 million undocumented immigrants. But we can change this if we pressure mayors to declare their cities as sanctuaries of safety.
In a sanctuary city, officials implement policies to restrict local police from turning immigrants over to federal immigration agents and declare in no uncertain terms that immigrants are welcome. Without them, undocumented immigrants like me and my family are left vulnerable to racial profiling, detention and deportation.
We salute the mayors of Seattle, San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland who have been quick to stand with their undocumented residents.
This is just the beginning - we can make our cities and states safe for all!
