Migration is a basic act of being human. It doesn’t matter whether you came from Kansas or Kenya, South Carolina or South Korea — Ohio is your home now.

The slew of anti-immigrant executive orders from the White House, and intimidation tactics against families, communities, schools, and workplaces, mean we need to raises our voices now. Help show that we are UNITED in ensuring local municipalities work for the good of all residents, because immigrants are beloved members of our Ohio family.

Can you join us in asking your local officials to affirm their commitment to making their municipalities a safe place for all immigrants to live, work, learn and thrive?

Take action now by signing onto our letter to stand with immigrants. Ohio Immigrant Alliance and OPAWL - Building AAPI Feminist Leadership are leading this initiative.

If you are the leader of an organization (including businesses and other groups), you can ALSO sign onto our ORGANIZATIONAL LETTER HERE. Please do not sign your organization onto this effort unless you are authorized to do so.

After you sign, can you share the petition with 5 of your friends? Because #OhioIsHome.

P.S. — Check out the powerful protests that took place in Akron, Cleveland, and Columbus already, and find ways to get involved. There’s a list of regional groups here, and events this weekend in Columbus and outside the Geauga County Jail.

P.P.S — We have resources available for Ohio immigrants, businesses, law enforcement, schools, hospitals, and more at OhioIsHome.org, as well as a hotline to report abuses.
