Description
Stand together to demand that we end the collaboration between our police department and deportation agents! Join us on the steps of Burlington City Hall to demand that the Burlington City Council prohibits collaboration between the Burlington Police Department and deportation agents like ICE and border patrol. Then, join us in giving public comment to speak directly to the Burlington City Council to urge that they pass a resolution to codify the separation of BPD and ICE/CBP!
No Mas Polimigra is a campaign started by Migrant Justice. “Polimigra” is a combination of the Spanish words for police (policía) and immigration agents/agencies (migra). It is used to describe when police collaborate with immigration officials. The statewide Fair and Impartial Policing Policy is critical in limiting collaboration between local police and federal immigration officials, but the current policy contains several dangerous loopholes that allow for collaboration. In 2018, the city of Winooski passed this policy -- and it is time for Burlington to do the same. Come to the teach-in on January 21st to learn more about this campaign.
