We are standing up for fundamental American principles of fairness and justice in support of our immigrant and refugee friends, neighbors and co-workers. The United States is a nation of immigrants, both voluntary and involuntary, and recognizing this fact, we stand with those who are targets of racial discrimination in our country.<\/p>\n

Many of our Latinx friends and neighbors across the country are terrified\u2014regardless of documentation status. We stand and work together to help build safe, just and welcoming communities for all. We celebrate what the Latinx community brings to this country, and we support those working to protect the basic human rights of immigrants by engaging in education, outreach and advocacy at local, state and national levels.<\/p>\n

Latinx families\u2014like all families\u2014want the best possible future for their children. They hold values deeply rooted in culture, faith, education, courage and hard work. Many local businesses, classrooms, youth programs, as well as an extraordinary workforce, are led by our Latinx neighbors, and they are crucial to what makes our beautiful community thrive.<\/p>\n

To the impacted community in this Valley and around the country, the undersigned organizations and individuals say: If you are afraid for your safety, if you worry that your parent or child may be taken away from you, please know we will support you in any way we can. We stand in solidarity with you with the recognition that your participation in this community makes us all better.<\/p>\n

Estamos defendiendo los principios estadounidenses fundamentales de equidad y justicia en apoyo de nuestros amigos, vecinos y compa\u00f1eros de trabajo inmigrantes y refugiados. Los estados unidos es una naci\u00f3n de inmigrantes, tanto voluntarios como involuntarios, y reconociendo este hecho, apoyamos a quienes son objeto de discriminaci\u00f3n racial en nuestro pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n

Muchos de nuestros amigos y vecinos Latinx por todo el pa\u00eds est\u00e1n aterrorizados, independientemente del estado de la documentaci\u00f3n. Nos paramos y trabajamos juntos para construir comunidades justas, bienvenidas y seguras para todos. Celebramos lo que la comunidad Latinx aporta a este pa\u00eds y apoyamos a quienes trabajan para proteger los derechos humanos b\u00e1sicos de los inmigrantes a medios de la educaci\u00f3n, el trabajo comunitario y la abogac\u00eda a los niveles locales, estatales y nacionales.<\/p>\n

Las familias Latinxs, como todas las familias, quieren el mejor futuro posible para sus hijos. Tienen valores profundamente arraigados en la cultura, la fe, la educaci\u00f3n, la valent\u00eda y el trabajo duro. Muchos de nuestros negocios, salones de clase, programas juveniles, tanto como una fuerza laboral extraordinaria est\u00e1n dirigidos por nuestros vecinos Latinx y son cruciales para lo que hace prosperar a nuestra comunidad hermosa.<\/p>\n

Para la comunidad afectada en esta Valle y en todo el pa\u00eds, las organizaciones y los individuos que suscriben les dicen: si temen por su seguridad, si se preocupan que les puedan quitar a sus hijos o padres, sepan que los apoyamos en todo lo que se pueda. Nos pondremos de pie y hablaremos en contra del odio y la intolerancia que se est\u00e1 extendiendo por esta gran naci\u00f3n. Nos solidarizamos con ustedes con el reconocimiento de que su participaci\u00f3n es esta comunidad nos hace mejores.<\/p>\n
