We Say:
  • Black, Latin@, Asian, Indigenous, Arab, White &emdash; In Unity there is strength.
  • ICE raids are racist, anti-union and violate immigrant and US workers' civil rights & divide families.
  • Jobs & homes, not lay-off and foreclosures. Stop demolition of public housing in New Orleans & everywhere.
  • No war in Iraq. Bring the troops home now.
  • Political asylum for Victor Toro. No deporation for Flor Crisostomo.
  • Money for levees in New Orleans, not the US / Mexico border wall.
  • Repeal NAFTA, no more U.S. trade agreements that force migration & cause lay-offs here.

Dear Michael Chertoff, Chief, Homeland Security

We ask you in the name of decency to stop the ICE raids in the homes and workplaces of the immigrant community. No family should have to endure armed squads bursting into their homes with shotguns and automatic weapons drawn. One's home should be a place of security and peace. Children should not be left alone or have to lose their parents through raids at their work, resulting in depression, traumatic stress disorder and separation anxiety. Children should live with love and joy. This is what America stands for.

This Valentine's Day, have a heart and STOP THE RAIDS!

Sincerely,
(Your signature will be appended here based on the contact information you enter to the right)
