Advocacy Toolkit: "Freedom Cities" Model Policies in Virginia
We should all join together in being proactive in moving state and local officials to adopt laws and policies that will encourage and protect freedom for all people in Virginia rather than constrain it for any of us. We need your help to push for adoption of the ACLU’s model state and local law enforcement policies and rules related to the enforcement of federal immigration laws. Take action in your local community!
It is our hope that this information will empower you to reach out to your family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances and even strangers to raise awareness and activism around these issues. With your help, we can have “Freedom Cities” across Virginia!
Download the toolkit below to begin your advocacy, then report back and tell us how things went using this online form.
