Tell lawmakers:
NJ must build a truly fair and welcoming state for all people – regardless of immigration status.
Far too many immigrant New Jerseyans live in fear that a visit to the emergency room, a routine interaction with law enforcement, or even a school drop-off will result in deportation.
New Jersey must end its facilitation of the federal detention and deportation machine.
New Jersey must pass the Values Act.

Your Message:
The Values Act (A1986/S512) would allow New Jerseyans to seek public services, stand up for their rights, and participate fully in their communities without fear of deportation.
New Jersey already has taken first steps toward offering protections through the Immigrant Trust Directive which limits collaboration between local and State law enforcement and ICE. But these protections aren't permanent. The Values Act strengthens the Immigrant Trust Directive's provisions, creates additional safeguards, and ensures that sensitive information is not shared or collected at places like:
Finally, the Values Act would remove the harmful, dehumanizing term "alien" from state documents and replace it with "non-citizen." With the Values Act all immigrant New Jerseyans who need support can do so with confidence that they belong and are protected.
I believe in a #NJforAll of us, regardless of immigration status. It's why I support the Values Act and urge you to do the same. Will you support A1986/S512?
