Not one more
Deportation Rally
April 5th we deliver a resounding and unified message: 2 million,
2 many! Not One More Deportation with cities all across the US.
Please join us for an afternoon of solidarity! There will be
scheduled community speakers, artist and information sessions! We are looking
for local Worcester support! If you or your organization would like to be a
speaker, sponsor or participate in anyway please contact one of the folks at
the bottom of page. We really want to make this a community event!
Everyday more than 1,000 people are deported. It is predicted that
in April 2 million people will have been deported by the Obama Administration.
Amidst Congressional inaction, President Obama and his Administration must
understand that our community cannot continue to wait. We won’t continue to
wait - especially when the President can take concrete, bold and necessary
actions TODAY to turn back the deportation dragnet.
Please join us on April 5th, share this information with your
networks.

The Secure Communities program (S-Comm)
automatically checks fingerprints of every arrested person taken at booking
against Immigration databases. Based on these database checks, Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) then transfers people suspected of being deportable
straight into the detention and deportation system from the criminal justice
system.
In the deportation system, people are often sent
far away to remote detention centers— with no loved ones or even lawyers to
help defend against deportation. ICE claims that this program is intended to
remove only the most violent criminal immigrants, but the majority of people
affected by this program have no convictions, or have committed only low-level
misdemeanors.
Worcester is a city built by immigrants- Secure
Communities is Wrong for Worcester!
