My Name Is
Bill Roth, and I am a board member at Sacred Heart Community Service.
The core
message you have heard tonight is that it's important, now more than ever, that
we all unite as a community, to protect each others' rights.
And for
those of us with privilege it's important we stand up for vulnerable communities.
That’s why I
want you to join with Sacred Heart Community Service and other organizations to
support our Rapid Response Network.
The RapidResponse Network is a community defense project developed to protect immigrant
families from ICE deportation threats and to provide accompaniment support
during and after enforcement activities in our community.
Did you know
that 99.1% of the time ICE does not have a valid judicial warrant when it raids
an immigrant’s home?
Did you know
that very often, ICE will mislead people into thinking it is the local police?
This destroys the trust built by our local police force, and violates
constitutional protections.
You can do
something about this.
Join the
Rapid Response Network, and get trained as an operator or legal observer. Or
join to help comfort a family that has just lost a mother or father to
deportation.
