From the Pennsylvania Immigration and Citizenship Coalition (http://www.paimmigrant.org):
In the first few weeks of the 2017-18 legislative session, Pennsylvania legislators introduced five bills that target immigrant and refugee communities in the state. Many state legislators believe that because both President Trump and Senator Toomey campaigned on platforms that targeted immigrant, refugee, and Muslim communities, they should follow suit and introduce and support punitive, discriminatory policies that target so-called “Sanctuary Cities” and immigrant and refugee communities.
Now is the time to tell our elected representatives to #StoptheHate!
Legislators are so committed to these bills, that on Feb. 7, 2017 the PA Senate pushed through SB10, a bill targeting the many counties and cities in Pennsylvania that have policies limiting local law enforcement collaboration with ICE. The next step is for the PA House to decide whether to vote on the bill. In just one week, House members return to Harrisburg, and could decide to consider SB10 and bring it to a vote. This means we have one week to let them know that hateful anti-immigrant bills are the wrong choice for Pennsylvania!
Take 10 minutes today and help put a stop to SB10:
Write an email to your legislator at http://statevoices.salsalabs.com/o/11/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=1040.
Follow-up with a call to your legislator’s office (the number will pop up after you send the email)
Thank you for taking action and standing up for immigrant and refugee communities in PA!
