Recognizing that the Secure Communities Program is only one component of a larger problem with the U.S. Government's current "Enforcement Only" response to immigration in this country, the Just Communities/Comunidades Justas Campaign seeks to not only educate and mobilize people against this program, but also to organize our members in order to more effectively engage our elected officials and the public in a discussion about proactive and respectful responses to our broken immigration system.
