A sample of SFPPP Actions

We have met with local law enforcement, singly and with other rights groups, to lobby for People Power’s Nine Model State and Local Law Enforcement Policies and Rules several times. The current San Mateo County Sheriff says he is in compliance with SB 54, the California Values Act, but refuses to stop cooperating with ICE to the fullest extent legally allowed. We continue to explore other avenues to separate law enforcement from immigration enforcement.
Members attended San Mateo County Board of Supervisors meeting to support Faith in Action’s efforts to encourage members to pass deportation defense funding for low income immigrants. This effort was successful and the Board approved $764,000 to fund deportation hearing defense.
Participated in several rallies and protests opposing the Muslim Ban and the immigrant family separation policies of the Trump administration. SFPPP members, alongside other community organizations, co-organized and sponsored the Redwood City Lights for Liberty candlelight vigil on July 12, 2019.
Distributed more than 1500 Family Preparedness Guides and more than 3000 Know Your Rights brochures to local churches, organizations, and individuals.
