Take Action: Stop the Anti-Immigrant Bill, SB 153
North Carolina legislators are attempting to pass SB 153, a bill that would further criminalize immigrants and harm our communities. This dangerous legislation seeks to expand local law enforcement’s role in immigration enforcement, increasing the risk of racial profiling and tearing families apart. We must stop SB 153 from becoming law to protect immigrant families, ensure community safety, and stand against policies that encourage discrimination and fear.
Script:
Hello! My name is ___. I am a constituent, and I am reaching out to ask you to vote NO on SB 153. As a North Carolina resident, I strongly oppose any legislation that forces local law enforcement to act as immigration agents, as it fosters racial profiling and erodes trust between communities and law enforcement. This bill threatens the safety and well-being of immigrant families, many of whom are long-standing members of our communities.
We need policies that support all North Carolina residents, not laws that criminalize and separate families. I urge you to protect immigrant rights and stand against SB 153. Please vote no. Thank you!
