Of the 10 undocumented youth who were arrested on Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina, 3 have been released, 7 remain in jail, and all still face the prospect of deportation. They participated in an act of civil disobedience at Central Piedmont Community College, protesting the discriminatory policies towards undocumented students at community colleges, the criminalization of the undocumented community as a result of programs like 287g and Secure Communities, which is active in 100% of counties in North Carolina, and to hold the Democratic party accountable to their inaction and often supportive hand in perpetuating this current attack on the immigrant community. Make a $20 donation towards their bail fund. Mere hours after they were arrested, they were caught in the net of 287g. ICE initiated deportation proceedings and put them on the fast track to being transferred to immigration detention. Coincidentally, the Democratic National Convention was launched the same day in Charlotte. These undocumented youth willingly tested the waters of the recent announcements by the Obama administration, and their fate proves that these announcements are simply of no substance and youth continue to be targeted, detained, and deported every day still. Will you stand up with these youth and hold this administration accountable? Sign this petition to tell President Obama that his dragnet enforcement policies continue to deport undocumented youth, and that this unacceptable. Then, call the Democratic National Committee at (202) 863-8000 and say “I am calling in solidarity with the North Carolina 7, undocumented youth who were arrested and placed into deportation proceedings on Tuesday in Charlotte. We demand that President Obama stop the lies and put an Immediate END to 287g and Secure Communities Programs. We will not support nor campaign for elected officials that make false promises to our immigrant community yet support programs that criminalize and deport immigrant youth and families. We demand real solutions not empty promises.” Thank you for taking action, Kemi Bello Co-founder, DreamActivist.org P.S. On Twitter/Facebook? Share this: RT @BarackObama stop the lies.
