My name is _____ and I am a resident of _____. I am [calling/emailing] to urge Governor Hochul to work with the legislature to pass and sign into law the Dignity Not Detention Act (S.316/A.4181) and New York For All Act (S.2235/A.3506).

The Dignity Not Detention Act (S.316/A.4181) gets New York State out of the business of ICE detention. DND will prevent state and local government entities, like jails, hospitals, or schools, from contracting with ICE to cage immigrants and end contracts that currently exist. The New York For All Act (S.2235/A.3506) would also prohibit any local or state agency from conspiring with ICE.

As ICE terrorizes communities across our state, we can make sure that our state is doing all it can to stop ICE's violence.

Can we count on Governor Hochul to push for the legislature to pass DND and NY for All immediately upon the legislative session beginning in January? Will Governor Hochul commit to signing into law these two bills?
