Join the ACLU of Maryland and the RISE Coalition of Western Maryland for a Unity Rally to celebrate our immigrant community and show Sheriff Jenkins that we are united against hatred and white supremacy. We must come together to drown out the fear-mongering with a huge and loud celebration!
Frederick County Sheriff Chuck Jenkins refuses to hold a public Steering Committee meeting to answer questions from residents about the anti-immigrant 287(g) program. Yet, Jenkins is cohosting a rally this week to promote this program, which undermines public safety by authorizing local police to act as ICE agents.
Sheriff Jenkins also invited anti-immigrant VIPs (who are mostly from out-of-town), including the director of a known hate group, "FAIR", and the former Director of ICE, to rally in support of his policies.
Come to the Carroll Creek Amphitheater at 2:00 p.m. We will gather to enjoy food, music, fun activities for kids, and hear community leaders and elected officials speak on the values of diversity and inclusivity for a better, safer community for ALL.
If you'd like to help us provide food, drinks, etc, please sign up here.
Speakers Include:
- Congressman Jamie Raskin, MD District 8
- Dana Vickers Shelley, Executive Director of the ACLU of Maryland
- Alderman Ben MacShane
- Mayor O'Connor
- Rev. Carl Gregg, UUCF
- And other community leaders
Nuestro sheriff, y el Club Republicano de Frederick, han invitado a VIPs antiinmigrantes a nuestra comunidad para unirse en apoyo de sus políticas. Apoyar 287 (g) es una cosa. Invitar a racistas conocidos de un grupo de odio y un grupo extremista nativista es otro, y habla por sí mismo.
Debemos unirnos para ahogar sus temores con una celebración ENORME y ALTA de nuestra comunidad de inmigrantes y mostrarles que estamos UNIDOS contra el odio y la supremacía blanca.
Ven al anfiteatro de Carroll Creek a las 2 p.m. Nos reuniremos para disfrutar de comida, música, actividades divertidas para los niños y escuchar a los líderes de la comunidad y los funcionarios electos hablar sobre los valores de la diversidad y la inclusión para una comunidad mejor y más segura para TODOS.
Si desea ayudarnos a proporcionar alimentos, bebidas, etc., regístrese aquí.
Los oradores incluyen:
- Congresista Jamie Raskin, MD Distrito 8
- Dana Vickers Shelley, Directora Ejecutiva de la ACLU de MD
- Concejal Ben MacShane
- Alcalde O'Connor
- Rev. Carl Gregg, de la UUCF
- y otros líderes de la comunidad
