John -
Schools, hospitals, and places of worship were off-limits to ICE
immigration enforcement for years. These are sacred spaces, where people
go to learn, receive health care, and worship in peace, without fear.
But one of Donald Trump’s first acts in office was to revoke these
protections, turning these safe havens into targets. It’s beyond time to
take action.
Fortunately, city and town mayors have the power to fight for migrants in
their communities. They can order police not to participate in ICE raids
and even block ICE agents’ entry into schools, hospitals, and places of
worship. We just need our mayors to hear our call. How?

John, we understand that migrant justice is climate justice. As
climate activists, we have a responsibility to stand in solidarity with
our immigrant neighbors because the climate crisis is fueling migration.
People have the right to stay in their homes and not be forced out by
climate chaos — droughts, floods, rising waters — or by the violence and
poverty that fossil fuel extraction drives. That’s why we fight to stop
Big Oil and ensure a just recovery.
But people also have the right to leave and migrate with dignity to escape
these conditions if they need or choose to. That’s why we stand up for
migrant justice.
Right now, families are facing the unimaginable: the fear that their
children won’t make it safely to school, that seeking health care could
mean deportation, or that a peaceful moment of prayer might be shattered
by ICE agents barging in.
Trump has opened the door to mass raids and arrests, instilling fear into
families who rely on these community sanctuaries. With the federal
government moving in the wrong direction, we need our state and local
leaders to stand up for what is right.

and compassion we all deserve. Send a Letter to the Editor to your local
newspaper today to make sure mayors hear our call and take action to
protect migrants.
