Say No to SB153! ICE OUT OF NC!

North Carolina State Senate

The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), Mi Barrio Durham, and the North Carolina community is calling on North Carolina residents to SAY NO to the North Carolina State Senate's attack on our immigrant community. Join us by signing this petition that says you stand against the passage of Senate Bill 153!

SB 153, the “North Carolina Border Protection Act,” would force state law enforcement agencies to work with ICE. It also mandates an audit to “verify” that state benefits only go to people with legal status — even though undocumented people are already banned from most state and federal programs.

The bill also targets universities, banning UNC schools from limiting cooperation with ICE. Finally, it pressures cities to abandon sanctuary policies by removing legal protections and allowing citizens to sue local governments that maintain them — leaving vulnerable communities at even greater risk.

Politicians are using this bill to once again divide us, while corporations exploit immigrant labor for profit. They want workers — especially undocumented workers — to live in fear so they won’t demand fair wages or better working conditions. But we can fight back by getting organized!

El Partido por el Socialismo y la Liberación (PSL), Mi Barrio Durham y la comunidad de Carolina del Norte hacen un llamado a los residentes de Norte Carolina para que DIGAN NO al ataque del Senado Estatal de Carolina del Norte contra nuestra comunidad inmigrante. ¡Únete firmando esta petición para demostrar que te opones a la aprobación del Proyecto de Ley del Senado 153!

SB 153, la “Ley de Protección Fronteriza de Carolina del Norte”, obligaría a las agencias estatales de aplicación de la ley a trabajar con ICE. También impone una auditoría para “verificar” que los beneficios estatales solo vayan a personas con estatus legal, a pesar de que las personas indocumentadas ya tienen prohibido acceder a la mayoría de los programas estatales y federales.

El proyecto de ley también ataca a las universidades, prohibiendo que las escuelas de la UNC limiten su cooperación con ICE. Además, presiona a las ciudades para que abandonen las políticas de santuario al eliminar protecciones legales y permitir que ciudadanos demanden a los gobiernos locales que las mantengan, dejando a nuestras comunidades aún más vulnerables.

Los políticos están usando este proyecto de ley para dividirnos una vez más, mientras que las corporaciones explotan la mano de obra inmigrante para obtener ganancias. Quieren que los trabajadores —especialmente los indocumentados— vivan con miedo para que no exijan salarios justos ni mejores condiciones laborales. ¡Pero podemos luchar organizándonos! Firma la petición hoy y únete a nuestro chat de Telegram We Fight Back para conocer los próximos pasos en la lucha contra SB 153.

From: [Your Name]

Dear North Carolina State Senate,

I am writing to you as a deeply concerned constituent regarding Senate Bill 153 that plans to unjustly attack our North Carolina immigrant communities. This bill would tear families apart, destabilize our neighborhoods, and creating a culture of fear that goes against North Carolina's values to protect its' residents. As you know, this bill would primarily force state law enforcement to work with ICE and to allow residents to sue local governments for protecting North Carolina's immigrant communities.

Despite these alarming facts, we have yet to see a broad public condemnation of SB153 from the North Carolina Senate. Our undocumented community greatly contributes to this state's economy, culture, and overall well-being, and yet they are being left to suffer in silence without reassurance from our elected officials.

We demand that the North Carolina State Senate overwhelmingly votes no to Senate Bill 153. North Carolina must not be complicit in the harm inflicted on our undocumented community. We urge you to take action now and stand with the families who are living in fear. Silence is not an option. We expect our elected leaders to speak up and take meaningful steps to ensure that all North Carolina residents—regardless of immigration status—feel safe and supported in their own state.
We look forward to your swift response and leadership on this urgent matter.
