Help us fight Trump‘s crackdown on sanctuary cities.

Trump's thugs are threatening to arrest leaders of sanctuary cities. FIGHT BACK! Make a donation to Local Democracy Project - we work to empower communities across the country to stand up for their values. As our friends and neighbors seeking refuge are being kidnapped and disappeared, the Trump administration is attempting to prosecute and defund sanctuary cities that serve as crucial safe havens for individuals fleeing violence and persecution. The elected leaders of sanctuary cities are now facing arrest by Trump's ICE Director, Tom Homan who said, "Wait 'til you see what's coming." Local democracy is fundamental to the establishment and maintenance of sanctuary cities. It empowers communities to make decisions that reflect their values and priorities, particularly when it comes to protecting vulnerable populations, and providing a guardrail from creeping fascism. Your support helps protect the rights and dignity of all individuals, fostering communities that are not only safer but also more just and inclusive.

According to a study by the Center for American Progress, counties with sanctuary policies experience 35.5 fewer crimes per 10,000 people compared to those without such policies, demonstrating the positive impact on public safety. By allowing local governments to enact policies that best serve their residents, democracy ensures that cities can provide a safe haven to those in desperate need of refuge. This local autonomy is crucial for addressing the unique challenges and needs of diverse communities. Support for organizations like the Local Democracy Project is essential in strengthening the democratic processes that underpin sanctuary policies. By investing in our efforts to rebuild democracy from the ground up, we can ensure that local governments remain responsive and accountable to their residents. Will you pitch in?
