Show The Love this February
SHOW YOUR LOVE and SOLIDARITY this February
In just one week this February, ICE arrested 270 immigrants in our region; 25 were detained at a workplace raid in Sanford. Many Chatham families were impacted.
We are heartbroken by the panic and suffering in our community and have huge tasks ahead.
We’re helping families impacted by the raids and are planning our 3rd Legal Fair on Saturday, April 6 to offer free consultations with immigration attorneys and inform our community about their rights. That and a lot more with only 3 staff members.
An ICE official stated that this is our “new normal” and that they “won’t turn a blind eye to other undocumented family members or friends in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
We are here to defend our community for the long haul.
