Support the No Taxpayer Dollars for Family Separation Act
Call Script: (Leave a voicemail if closed!)
Hi, my name is [first_name]! I am joining with Faith in Action East Bay, PICO California, The California Immigrant Policy Center (CIPIC) & SEIU California to ask for your support of AB2465: The No Taxpayer Dollars for Family Separation Act.
Additional Talking points:
Companies tied to detention and deportation receive millions in California tax breaks, grants, and other public benefits - while families are torn apart and our communities live in fear.
AB 2465 will CUT OFF state benefits and $$ to corporations that profit from detention and enforcement activities.
At a time when families are being torn apart, our faith and our shared humanity calls us to stand with the vulnerable and affirm that Families are Sacred.
When the time comes, please support your community, support AB 2465: The No Taxpayer Dollars for Family Separation Act.
Right now, companies profiting from the detention of our immigrant neighbors still receive millions in California tax breaks, grants, and public benefits, while families are torn apart and communities live in fear.
Every day we stay silent, our tax dollars help fund that harm.
That ends with AB 2465 - but only if our leaders hear from us now.
Please, use your voice now: Call your Assemblymember. Tell them to support the No Taxpayer Dollars for Family Separation Act.
In faith, love, and solidarity,
FAITH IN ACTION EAST BAY
