John, we need to
do more to protect immigrants in our country.

Immigrant women are significantly more likely to suffer domestic violence,
nearly three times the national average. It’s crucial that we do
everything we can to ensure survivors of domestic violence, human
trafficking, and gender-based violence are protected.

That’s why, last week, Pramila introduced the Working for Immigrant Safety
and Empowerment (WISE) Act to protect immigrant survivors of domestic
violence, human trafficking, and gender-based violence.

As a progressive movement, it is our duty and moral obligation to keep our
communities safe and protect our neighbors, no matter their race,
ethnicity, citizenship status, or background. [ [link removed] ]If you stand with Pramila

pass the WISE Act and protect immigrant survivors.

Immigrant women and children are particularly vulnerable to domestic
violence, and the rate of abuse against immigrant women is nearly 49
percent, nearly three times the national average. And they are less likely
to report these instances due to fear of deportation.

The WISE Act would ensure that immigrants have access to protections
intended by the bipartisan Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), the
Trafficking Victim Protection Act (TVPA), and other federal and state
laws. And most importantly, this bill will ensure survivors pursuing
relief are not detained or deported before their applications are fully
adjudicated.

Victims of violence should be able to receive justice, no matter what.

fight to ensure all immigrants have the federal and state protections they
need to feel and be safe.

Together,

Team Pramila
