ICE is already increasing its presence here in Knoxville, and we want our County Commission to know that we will NOT tolerate in Knoxville what we are currently seeing in Minnesota.Not in our scrappy, scruffy, welcoming little city.
The agenda item from last month for expanding the 287g program in Knox County was moved to February 25th, as was Commissioner Andy Fox’s speech expounding on the ‘Christian position’ for deporting ‘illegal’ immigrants.
Please encourage anyone you know who is willing SHOW UP in support of our immigrant neighbors OR to offer a rebuttal to join us.
Request to speak during public forum of the meeting here:
https://commission.knoxcountytn.gov/public-forums/
Contact information for all Knox County Commissioners (we need EVERYONE to please contact them before the meeting and contact ALL of them, not just your rep):
https://commission.knoxcountytn.gov/people/
The largest ‘sign’ we can bring is standard 8.5 x 11 paper, and no sticks or handles. But bring colorful and highly viewable shows of support! Let the County Commission know Knoxville LOVES THEIR IMMIGRANT NEIGHBORS and we demand our elected officials do the right and decent thing.
SHOW UP WEARING WHITE if possible to represent peace and unity!
When:
February 25th at 5:00pm
