New York State Says to Governor Cuomo: “Stop Secure Communities!”
 
A year ago on May 18th, former Governor Paterson signed an alarming agreement
with Immigration that allows them to pick up immigrants at the point of arrest
through a program called “Secure Communities” or “S-Comm”. Community
members at risk of deportation now face fear when accessing the police because
they may be turned over to Immigration.
 
The collaboration between local law enforcement and Immigration has gone too far!
Governor Cuomo has the power to stop the agreement!
 
Join immigrant families, elected officials and organizations on Wednesday MAY 18th to DEMAND a full rescission of the agreement! Governor Cuomo needs to take a stand in support of immigrant families!
 
When: Wednesday, May 18th, 11am – 12pm
Where: In front of the Governor’s office: 633 3rd Ave (@ 41st St)
Who: Immigrants and their families, NY elected officials, community
