Field Trip to Safe Communities Act Hearing
November 25 @ 10:00 am – 3:00 pm EST
The Legislature has scheduled a hearing on the Safe Communities Act for Tuesday, November 25 in Gardner Auditorium at the State House. While you can watch the hearing (and even submit testimony) online, we hope you can join us to attend the hearing in person to show support for this bill that is urgently needed to protect immigrant rights and public safety.
The hearing begins at 11:30am and you’re welcome to meet us at the State House, but we are also trying to organize carpools that will leave from Lexington and/or Arlington around 10am and arrive back mid-afternoon. Use the form below to let us know if you hope to attend the hearing, and if you’re willing to drive or need a ride, please indicate that below by Saturday, Nov. 22.
Even if you’re unable to attend the hearing, there are actions you can take now to urge our state legislators to pass important bills to protect immigrants. Last month, ICE detained nearly 1,500 people in Massachusetts, including longtime residents, workers, taxpayers, parents, and neighbors who contribute deeply to our communities – tell your legislators they need to act!
You can email your legislators here to ask them to co-sponsor and support the Safe Communities Act and the Immigrant Legal Defense Act.
