31] – On Wed., June 13 from 11 AM to 1 PM,
the MoCo Trust Campaign will have a Public Launch, hosted by Do The Most
Good - Montgomery County at Temple Shalom, 8401 Grubb Rd., Chevy Chase
20815. This press conference and rally event launches a joint campaign of
20 community organizations (and growing) to pass Trust legislation in
Montgomery County. Shortly after Trump took office and launched a reign of
terror on immigrants, Montgomery County issued a proclamation promising to
welcome the immigrant community. But to date, that promise has not come with
substantive reform. This campaign will advocate for county legislation that
commits county agencies to limiting their cooperation with ICE. Email katiestauss@gmail.com. See https://www.facebook.com/events/227409801186123/.
