Say No to SComm in Massachusetts - Can your organization sign on a letter directed at MA Police Chiefs

Hi friends,

Please distribute to your networks!

As you must know, two days ago "Secure Communities" deportation program was
being activated across Massachusetts. Several organizations are now
launching an effort to educate police chiefs and sheriffs about the harmful
impact of the program, and ask them not to honor ICE "detainers" - requests
that they hold a person until an ICE agent arrives to take him or her into
custody.

Attached is a letter which we intend to send to police chiefs around the
state - will your organization sign onto it? If so, please let Lena Graber
of the National Immigration Project know by NEXT TUESDAY MAY 22 - you can
email her at lena@nationalimmigrationproject.org
