We encourage you to contact your local leaders and tell them how much you appreciate their support for all the newcomers to our communities.

Copy the following, paste and make it personal. It is important for local leaders to know that they are not alone and that we support them as they resist the federal pressure.

Dear mayor:

I feel fortunate to live in a welcoming community; valuing the foreign born as assets rather than a hindrance is a forward outlook that shows you are looking out for the long-term strength of our town.

I am proud of the city's support for the foreign born, no matter what their status. The Welcoming Plan of Champaign County has the city's long term commitment and I support its continued implementation.

Lastly, your defense of the TRUST Act  is commendable and your law enforcement and city policies that implement this support, are also worthy of praise. Keep at it. We so appreciate you,

Signature
