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.

Congress
Contact your Member of Congress and Senators www.congress.gov/contact-us
An anti-immigrant bill, the DUIs Act (H.R. 875), has passed the House and will now be considered in the Senate. This bill would establish a life-time ban for anyone with a DUI record from adjusting their status and mandates detention. And it would affect green card holders as well, who would be placed in deportation proceedings and mandated to detention as well. Tell your Senators and member of Congress to vote no.
Governor Shapiro
Call Governor Shapiro at (717) 787-2500
Sample script: "Hi there, I’m leaving a message for Governor Shapiro, I want him to end state collaboration with ICE. There are several ways he can take administrative action and I urge him to use the full extent of his power such as ending database access with ICE, ending collaboration between the state Department of Corrections and ICE, strengthening the state trooper ICE policy, and protecting information in public benefit programs from ICE. We need our Governor to stand up against this White House."
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 resolution. Recent announced changes to internal policies are a step in the right direction, but a Welcoming County resolution ensures those policy changes are comprehensive, long-lasting and enforceable. 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!
