Since Thursday, more than 20,000 Presente.org members have called on President Obama to end the dangerous Secure Communities (S-COMM) program, after his Administration's decision to aggressively expand the use of local police officers as immigration agents. Will you help us get to 30,000 signatures?

Tomorrow, at events with community organizations all over the country, we'll deliver these signatures to leaders at Obama's main campaign offices in Chicago, Miami, Charlotte, Atlanta, Boston and Houston.

Can you help us reach 30,000 signatures before the big events tomorrow?

Already, we're helping make an impact together. The New York Times just ran an editorial saying that S-Comm, "has been plagued since its inception by miscommunication, deception, opacity and suspicion ...a program whose plug desperately needs pulling."¹ The Los Angeles Times editorial board similarly told Obama to "Shelve Secure Communities." 

In Boston, the city where S-Comm got it's start, Mayor Tom Menino now wants the program out, stating, "People will start to say the police are gestapos. My police aren't gestapos." Many more community organizations led by the National Day Labor Organizing Network are set to protest S-Comm at ICE forums around the country. The National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights is leading a national call-in day to the White House against S-Comm.   This is exactly the kind of massive outcry needed to tell the Obama administration that 1 million deportations is enough! ¡Ya basta!

Help us send President Obama a powerful message, and ask your friends and family to do the same. Tell Obama - END S-COMM!
