United in Support: Call for Protection of Immigrant Families
We come from many different backgrounds, so we want to make clear at Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco, we stand with all parents and caregivers in the immigrant communities of the Bay Area and beyond.
We have seen the recent news stories of ICE raids where children have been separated from their families. This is a terrifying event for any parent to imagine. And this is now a very real possibility so many families have to live with.
"Indeed, spreading fear and inflicting harm are the only purpose of these actions." Dr. Vanessa Marrero, Executive Director
We urge local government officials to do everything in their power to protect the mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunt and uncles and any caregivers whose hard work our local communities depend on.
And again to our incredible public school districts, we urge school officials to implement policies and procedures to ensure immigration agents do not enter our schools.
Our children have not committed any crime.
