Take action
PIC members are fighting for immigrant rights across the state. Here are the current ways to let your local elected leaders know they need to act now and stand with immigrant communities.
Governor Shapiro
Call Governor Shapiro at (717) 787-2500
Sample script: "I want Governor Shapiro to end state collaboration with ICE. That means no data sharing with ICE, end collaboration between the state prisons & probation with ICE, no communication or assistance between state troopers and ICE, never lease a state facility to ICE and protect information in public benefit programs from federal overreach. He has the power to do these things through administrative action—he needs to act now."
Philadelphia
Call Mayor Parker at (215) 686-2181
Sample script: "Thank you Mayor Parker for standing up for immigrant communities by preserving Executive Order 5-16 and being ready to fight for it in court. The people of Philadelphia have your back, we want to make sure our city stays firm in not collaborating with ICE."
Call Representative Boyle
Sample script: "Now is the time that Congressman Boyle stands firmly and publicly for immigrant rights, and demonstrates that with how he votes in Congress. I am disappointed that he has voted in favor of anti-immigrant bills this year, this is not in line with my values."
Montgomery County
PIC members and community leaders in MontCo are calling on the County Commissioners to pass a Welcoming County Act. Recent announced changes to internal policies are a step in the right direction, but a Welcoming County Act ensures those policy changes are comprehensive and long-lasting. Because at the end of the day, Montgomery County employees should not be communicating, data sharing or collaborating with ICE if there is no warrant signed by a federal judge!
