EVENT: Show Up for Immigrants and the California Values Act in Sacramento

 

On Thursday, Sept. 7, immigrants and allies are heading to the California State Capitol to demand that state lawmakers and Gov. Brown keep their promise to protect immigrants and pass a strong California Values Act. Can you join them?

California sheriffs are ramping up their opposition to the California Values Act (S.B. 54), and Trump’s racist administration is doubling down on its threats to punish states that refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement. Now it seems that California lawmakers and Gov. Brown are caving to the opposition’s pressure and trying to water down the bill. To get all of the immigrant protections in S.B. 54 on the books, we must be relentless in our activism and show up in force on Sept. 7. 

California passing S.B. 54 could shift the momentum. The California Values Act would build a firewall between local police and immigration enforcement, prohibit state agencies and employees from sharing information about an individual’s immigration status with the federal government and, most importantly, it would serve as model legislation for other states resisting Trump’s hateful, anti-immigrant regime.

Will you join us in Sacramento for the Sept. 7 day of action?
