<p style="margin-left:40px"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive"><span style="font-size:14px">Since the election of Trump Migrant Justice's website has been flooded by folks from all over Vermont and across the country reaching out to lend a hand in anticipation of Trump's war on immigrants. Our members are deeply heartened and moved by this outpouring of support and, for this reason, on December 10th we will kick off our annual party with <strong>a 2 hour "get involved" session </strong>for new and veteran volunteers and allies alike. Until then our team will be developing a broad-based strategy to engage hundreds of Vermonters to build a movement to effectively defend the human rights of
immigrant workers. </span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:40px"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive"><span style="font-size:14px">The Migrant Justice community is hopeful that Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger follows through on his promise to make Burlington a Sanctuary City by taking the first step, which is for the Burlington Police Department to fully adopt all elements of the new state-wide Fair and Impartial Policing policy that Migrant Justice helped create. Any sanctuary city effort must be firmly rooted in a legal framework that defines a policy of no collaboration between local agencies and immigration enforcement efforts. We encourage our allies across the state of Vermont to build a corridor of sanctuary cities and towns
across Vermont that adopt the state-wide Fair and Impartial Policing Policy. </span>As Migrant Justice leader Roger Balcazar told <a href="http://migrantjustice.net/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=5957&qid=406654" target="_blank">News Channel 5 </a>in a recent interview:</span></p>
