Most domestic workers are immigrant women of color, and many of us are mothers. Delmy Palencia is a mother and civil rights leader from New Orleans who was unjustly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) earlier this year, and is now facing deportation in retaliation for her civil rights work.

Please join us in taking action today to support Delmy Palencia.

Next week Delmy will be joining NDWA in the We Belong Together delegation of women leaders as we travel to Georgia to investigate the effects of that state's new anti-immigrant law, HB 87, on women, children and families.

Delmy's case illustrates how ICE's enforcement programs, such as the so-called "Secure Communities" program, hurt women, children and families. Our women's delegation will be a powerful contribution towards more just immigration policies, but Delmy needs our help now!
