Safeguard Immigrants During Political Transitions

I write this petition rooted in personal worry and empathy. As someone who has friends who have immigrated here, some without legal documentation, I understand the fears attached to the turbulent political climate. This petition seeks to establish safety measures for all immigrants, documented or not, during precarious political transitions. Uncertainty in leadership should not translate into uncertainty for personal safety and wellbeing. According to a 2018 study by Pew Research Center, approximately 7.6 million immigrants in the U.S are unauthorized, many of whom are constantly living in fear, especially during political changeovers [source: Pew Research Center, 2019]. This isn't simply numbers on a page, but millions of individual stories, ambitions and dreams. Join us in championing a more humane and compassionate approach to immigration policy. Keep in mind, we are not endorsing illegal immigration, but emphasizing the need for empathetic understanding and fair treatment. Please, sign and share this petition to voice your support and help us safeguard those who are scared and in need of our solidarity. Each signature is a step towards a safer, more welcoming country for all.
