Emergency Call to Action!

Please Attend the TN New American Day on the Hill

(Register today for this March 27th event!)

Tennessee state legislators are attempting to pass some of the harshest legislation against immigrants and refugees in the nation. They've proposed over 40 bills designed to instill fear in all immigrants, a piecemeal approach to immigration enforcement certain to break down communities and damage quality of life for all Tennesseans.

Should noncitizens be charged an immigrant tax for certain services, regardless of their immigration status?
Should our Japanese, Korean, and Spanish-speaking neighbors undergo special security checks to get driver's licenses?
Should landlords, church bus drivers, even car salesmen be turned into immigration enforcement agents?
Does preventing 50,000+ immigrant drivers from obtaining driving safety documents or insurance make our roads safer?
Do rules that prohibit adult immigrants from studying English help them integrate into our communities?
Should all Tennesseans be forced to provide proof of citizenship anytime they interact with a public employee?
Should immigrant parents have to worry that they will never see their children again every time they drive on TN highways?
