Watching our immigrant and refugee neighbors live in fear of deportation is heartbreaking. Our tax dollars should strengthen and build our community, not fuel deportation programs that divide families and weaken the community we call home.

Join us in advocating for a Cortland County where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected, regardless of their origin. Sign this petition to urge local leaders to refuse ICE partnerships and prioritize policies that benefit all residents in Cortland County.

Some factors to consider:

• Studies show that when local law enforcement signs an agreement with ICE, people are less likely to cooperate with the police and less likely to report crimes.

• Our Cortland County farms depend on immigrant and refugee workers. Deporting workers and separating families is both a moral and economic issue.
