State House Hearing Friday, June 9
SAFE COMMUNITIES ACT
Take Action - Testify or attend the hearing
The Massachusetts Immigrant & Refugee Advocacy Coalition (MIRA) seeks compelling testimony and support to educate the Joint Committee about the impact that Trump's aggressive enforcement and rhetoric are having on the ground, driving immigrants away from seeking public services and assistance, including public school, healthcare, and police assistance. Written testimony is also needed.
IF YOU WISH TO TESTIFY:
Arrive by 9:15 a.m. to sign up as an individual or a panel (3 or 4 people testifying together - sign all your names together). Expect to wait in line - it's first come, first serve. Three minute maximum per person. IF YOU ARE UNABLE OR DON'T WANT TO TESTIFY it's critical that you come to show your support. Plan to stay all day if you can. If the hearing room is full, use that time to visit your legislators. Find out who your representatives are here. No signs allowed in the building, but MIRA will have stickers to wear inside. EITHER WAY, PLEASE SUBMIT WRITTEN TESTIMONY. THE COMMITTEE NEEDS TO HEAR FROM YOU.
