This is an urgent call to arms to all of you in regards to a senate bill that is soon to be passed in an effort to stimulate Georgia's anti-immigration caucus. This bill (SB6) or "Georgia Road Safety and Driver's License Integrity Act" will demand the surrender of drivers licenses of current DACA recipients and force them to bare specialized licenses branding them as "Illegal Aliens". The Georgia Senate approved a bill on February 29th, that would require immigrants who have deferred action on deportation be issued separate driver’s licenses and ID cards that explicitly say they don’t have lawful status. If this bill is passed, it could potentially be used as a tactic to stigmatize and single out those who are here on work visas or other legal pretenses and provide the legislation with means for deporting these individuals.

I am reaching out to all of you good people because there are people amongst us who will be directly affected by the passing of this bill. Lets petition this bill and prevent the state of Georgia from stigmatizing the hardworking and deserving individuals who are just trying to make a future for themselves like everyone else. No one wants to be singled out or branded. I am asking for your support now.

"Senate Bill 6 is an obstacle for anyone who has a limited license due to DACA or victims of domestic violence. If passed, our human rights will be jeopardized. We will no longer have control of our privacy. We will be discriminated and because of our status it will be impossible to be able to even acquire the basic necessities that could include, but not limited to a home. Many republican legislators have disregarded our petitions. Today you can help us in the movement so that our voices become heard."

Below is a link to an online petition that should help us in our cause. If you think this bill should not be passed, please sign today and help our friends and loved ones maintain their rightful dignities and respect.

Please help to spread the word by sharing this link with as many people as you can. The window is closing for the proposal of this bill. The more support we can get, the better.
