3 Ways to Take Action to Support Immigrant Workers!

 

MASSACHUSETTS

 

 

 

The government may be shut down, but the fight for immigrant justice doesn't stop!

Here are three upcoming opportunities to help improve the lives of immigrant workers in Massachusetts and across the country:

Emergency Hearing on the Trust Act

Thursday, October 3rd at 10AM

Massachusetts Statehouse, Room A-2

Join immigrant workers & allies at a hearing on the Trust Act, an important piece of legislation that will help keep our communities safe for all people. It supports public safety by both allowing law enforcement to focus on real threats to public safety, not enforcement of a failed immigration system, and prevents the erosion of trust between local law enforcement and the immigrant community.

Can't make it to the hearing? A phone call or email to a member of the committee - especially from a constituent - can be vital.  Here is the contact information for the Public Safety Committee members, and a script

For more information, contact José Palma at jpalma@cpresente.org.

Boston's March for Respect and Reform

Saturday, October 5th at 12PM

March starts at the Copley Public Library (700 Boylston St. Boston MA)

Join immigrant rights organizations from Boston and dozens of others cities to demand a vote on immigration reform and an end to deportations!

Need a ride? Caravans will be leaving from across the state: Brockton, Fitchburg, Springfield, Worcester, Lynn, Williamstown & New Bedford.

Not One More Deportation!

Did you hear the good news? Our friend Mariola Perez just won a Stay of Removal and stopped her deportation thanks to the support of the Mass. Jobs with Justice community. Mariola will be able to stay united with her 3 year old son, her family and friends on the North Shore. Check out the article here!
