We don't need Donald's Trump Mexican wall of separation. He is doing a horrible job as the elected leader of our country. In fact he is only good at destroying families much like the fashion of Willie Lynch. We need understanding of one another's difference and the history of rape culture employed by this country. These attacks on immigrants via #OperationSafeCity is another example of vulnerable citizens being plotted on for the private industry gains.
1. Build unnecessary policing units
2. Create fake welfare systems
3. Create abusive foster care programs
4. Half educate the most vulnerable
5. Offer poor living and working conditions

The attacks on Sanctuary cities are going down. Peter Pedemonti of Philadelphia New Sanctuary Movement states "This operation by ICE is really brutal, it really feels like retaliation. I believe that polices across the country were having an impact and were reducing deportations and ICE has been fighting that"
In the face of the Trump Administration’s extremist anti-immigrant agenda, Sanctuary in the Streets draws on our ancient traditions to respond with courage, spirit and bold action. Since a family cannot seek Sanctuary in a congregation if their house is raided, we will bring the congregation to them by holding an interfaith service. An internal memo in ICE prevents officers from conducting enforcement in sensitive locations, such as congregations, schools, and hospitals. The interfaith service claims the space as holy ground, as a place of worship, and therefore ICE should not conduct enforcement. An interfaith service also sets the tone of the action as peaceful and prayerful. In this dark time people of faith must increase our light – by lifting up, and living out, our values of love and radical hospitality. Read our 2017 Statement on Sanctuary.

"We are celebrating the strength of our ancestors, the strength of Divine Protection and the strength of folks who have been detained and have contributed in so many ways to their communities."
"Estamos celebrando la fortaleza de nuestros antepasados, de la Proteccion Divina de aquellas personas que han sido detenidas y han contribuido tremendamente a comunidades"
October 5th, The New Sanctuary Movement held a vigil adjacent to the new ICE office which is across the street from the Philadelphia police headquarters and shares the same building as Liberty Resources who provides life sustaining resources to some of our most vulnerable members of society. During the vigil we opposed the horrific treatment immigrants are facing under the Trump administration. ICE agents are equivalent to the origination of today's police squads. On the hunt for those labeled unfit to be in our country. Totally illegal fear tactics are being put into place in Sanctuary cities who refuse to go back in time with derogatory discriminating practices of destroying families, communities and the fabric of our country.
We need a major coming together to understand how "ICE" and "Stop And Frisk" are the same. We need some major organizing to bring all communities together to understand how these illegal practice affect us all. #HumansInvolved #EndRapeCulture
Call your State Senator and Governor Wolf: Republican leadership is pushing for a veto-proof majority, so we really need our Senators to hear from each and every one of you. Tell your Senator to vote no on HB 1885, the Anti-Sanctuary Bill. You can find your State Senator here. Then please call Governor Wolf at 717-787-2500 and tell him to veto the bill.

We have two raid hotlines that are staffed 24/7: 267-333-9530 (English/Spanish) and 267-345-5248 (English/Indonesian). When immigrants call to report an ICE raid, staff will send an emergency alert to all trained members of Sanctuary in the Streets and activate our raid response system. For more information, please email maria@sanctuaryphiladelphia.org.

See our Sanctuary in the Streets Guide – Feb 2017 for more details.
Juntos is hosting Know Your Rights Trainings and Door Knocking to inform people of their rights.
This Fall Juntos is building a Community Resistance Zone. Given the attacks on our community, the only way to have a "Safe City" is one that is actively resisting against the criminalization of our families. Community Resistance Zones are built by educating everyone in our neighborhoods on their rights and on how to protect their neighbors from raids and racial profiling by Police and ICE. Please join us in fighting back by building out a South Philadelphia Community Resistance Zone on Saturday Nov. 11 and Sunday November 12th. http://vamosjuntos.org/volunteer/
