NJ Call-in 12/10 To Support Humane Immigration Reform

Thursday Dec 10th

International Human Rights Day

Statewide Call-in

To Support Humane Immigration Reform

On December 10th a group of individuals led by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) Immigrants Rights Program will be marching for seven miles from the federal building in Newark, NJ to the immigration detention center in Elizabeth in A Walk Toward Humane Immigration Policy.

Please help amplify their actions for humane immigration reform by adding your voice.

Call your congressman Thursday December 10 and ask him to support immigration policy which:

§ Respects the dignity and rights of all workers

§ Ends the indiscriminate detention and wholesale deportation of immigrants

§ Restores due process to the immigration court system

§ Creates a path to legal permanent residence for undocumented immigrants

§ Keeps families together and re-unites families that have been separated



Talking points:

§ Immigrant rights are human rights

§ All workers deserve to be treated with dignity and respect regardless of their immigration status

§ The existing immigration system has resulted in a growing number of persons in this country living in the shadows as they toil in jobs and are exploited by employers, landlords and others who prey on their vulnerability.

§ Our current immigration system contributes to the exploitation, and even deaths of migrants who otherwise contribute their work and talents to our nation


Please email kolearypcnj@gmail.com after you have called with the name of your congressman and any feedback.

Contact your friends to ask them to call too.
