\"\"After a shocking amount of approval for the Safe Communities Act, a wave of relief washed over the immigrant community of Hailey.<\/p>\n

Prior to the Hailey City Council meeting on Monday, about two weeks ago, Luis Alberto Lecanda mentioned his worries about the Act not passing and hoping to get Hispanic leaders, like Herbert Romero, to speak on this resolution and what it qualifies for.<\/p>\n

Romero spoke about his experiences, which helped the approval of this Act, but it was speakers like Blanca Lopez from the Alliance of Idaho, Bianca Romero from The Hunger Coalition and Juan Martinez from the council who changed the game.<\/p>\n

It was one thing to see known leaders stand up for this Act, but it was another level of importance to see how Latinos from this community came out to support this Act and share their stories of fear and immigration.<\/p>\n

Others who shared their support for the Safe Communities Act was Muffy Davis, member of the House of Representatives; Mary Fauth, director of the Blaine County Charitable Fund; Jacob Greenberg, Blaine County Commissioner; Steve England, Chief of Police; and more.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, after organization leaders, parents, and students from all over Hailey spoke on Monday night, a unanimous vote in favor of the Act was the result, and relief came to those in the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt passed!\u201d Lecanda said. \u201cI can\u2019t believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Safe Communities Act was passed to portray trust in the community for\u00a0 <\/span>undocumented families that fear deportation and don\u2019t seek help because of their status. This Act hopes to create a safer city within Hailey.<\/p>\n

Lecanda is working on passing the Safe Communities Act throughout Blaine County.<\/p>\n

NUESTRA VOZ CUENTA<\/b><\/p>\n

Despu\u00e9s de una sorprendente cantidad de aprobaci\u00f3n para la Ley de Comunidades Seguras, una ola de alivio se apoder\u00f3 de la comunidad inmigrante de Hailey.<\/p>\n

Antes de la reuni\u00f3n del Consejo de Hailey el lunes hace dos semanas, Luis Alberto mencion\u00f3 sus preocupaciones sobre el acto que no se aprueba y con la esperanza de que l\u00edderes hispanos, como Herbert Romero, hablen sobre esta resoluci\u00f3n y lo que califica.<\/p>\n

Romero habl\u00f3 sobre sus experiencias que ayudaron a la aprobaci\u00f3n de este acto, pero fueron ponentes como Blanca L\u00f3pez, de la Alianza de Idaho, Bianca Romero, de la Coalici\u00f3n Hambre, y Juan Mart\u00ednez, del concejo, quienes cambiaron el juego.<\/p>\n

Una cosa fue ver a l\u00edderes conocidos defender este acto, pero fue otro nivel de importancia ver c\u00f3mo los latinos de esta comunidad salieron a apoyar este acto y compartir sus historias de miedo e inmigraci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Otros que compartieron su apoyo a la Ley de Comunidades Seguras fueron Muffy Davis, miembro de la Casa de Representantes; Mary Fauth, directora del Blaine County Charitable Fund; Jacob Greenberg, comisionado; Jefe Steve England; y m\u00e1s.<\/p>\n

Sin embargo, despu\u00e9s de que l\u00edderes de la organizaci\u00f3n, padres y estudiantes de todas partes hailey hablaron el lunes por la noche, un voto un\u00e1nime a favor del acto fue el resultado y el alivio lleg\u00f3 a los de la comunidad.<\/p>\n

\u201cPas\u00f3!\u201d dijo Alberto. \u201cNo puedo creerlo.\u201d<\/p>\n

La Ley de Comunidades Seguras fue aprobada para representar la confianza en la comunidad para las familias indocumentadas que temen ser deportadas y no buscan ayuda debido a su estatus. Este acto espera crear una ciudad m\u00e1s segura dentro de Hailey.<\/p>\n

Alberto est\u00e1 trabajando en la aprobaci\u00f3n de la Ley de Comunidades Seguras en todo el Condado de Blaine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
