Sign Petition: Alabama's Immigration Law Repeal

from Adam Luna, America’s Voice

Did you know that under Alabama’s new immigration law, HB 56, thousands of children are too afraid to go to school, pregnant women are not getting the care they need, and countless employees are not working for fear of being deported?1 It is the most extreme anti-immigrant law in the nation and it could spread to other states if we don’t stop it.

But I’m glad to report that the tide is beginning to turn, because of a growing movement in Alabama working day and night to repeal HB 56. And as the movement grows and the evidence piles up, former supporters of this experiment in extremism are beginning to change their minds.

For example, Gerald Dial, an Alabama State Senator who voted for the bill said in a recent interview:

"There are things in the law we just didn't see[...] I'm a big enough guy to say I made a mistake and that I'll do everything I can do to correct it."2

But repealing the most extreme anti-immigrant law in the nation won’t be easy - it’ll take all of us to make it happen.

We’re helping build energy for repeal with this petition to demonstrate that the national support for repealing HB 56 is strong and getting stronger. Will you sign it?

Principled Alabama legislators are working right now to build support for their effort to repeal this bill when they convene again next February. That’s why it’s critical that legislators feel the pressure of our collective voices.

Your action will also bolster the power of the grassroots. This Saturday, students, religious leaders, farmers, advocates and business people will march on the state Capitol in Montgomery, AL and with one voice say, “enough is enough - it’s time to repeal HB 56!”

You can do your part in the fight against the worst immigration bill in the country by signing this petition to repeal HB 56.

Our team at AV will be sure to keep you posted as the fight goes on and we return to Alabama. Until then, please make sure to sign this petition and pass it along to your family and friends.
