On Wednesday, January 29th at 12 pm, join the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition (MIRA), state lawmakers, and fellow advocates on the front steps of the Massachusetts State House for a rally launching the “Protect Our Immigrant Communities” campaign, stressing the steps Massachusetts must take to defend immigrants from President Trump’s harmful and hateful policies.
To defend immigrants from President Trump’s anti-immigrant executive orders, the “Protect Our Immigrant Communities” campaign is urging state leaders to pass the Safe Communities Act, which would prevent state and local law enforcement from doing the work of ICE agents. The campaign is also calling on the state to expand legal services for immigrants facing deportation court proceedings to ensure they have a fair day in court.
