An Open Letter

To: Gov. Healey, Rep. Cruz, Sen. Lovely

From: A verified voter in Salem, MA

May 7

We desperately need you to co-sponsor Senator Jehlen's 3 amendments to the PROTECT ACT and vote for them. The vote is expected to be TOMORROW May 7. Amendment 49 (No Secret Police): Bans all law enforcement, including federal officers, from wearing masks or disguises while on duty. This is vital for public safety following incidents like the abduction of Rumeysa Ozturk, ensuring officers can be identified by the community they serve. Amendment 50 (Caregiver Authorization): Clarifies rights for parents concerned about ICE detention, allowing them to designate caregivers for their children's health, school, and recreational needs without lengthy court proceedings. Amendment 51 (Non-Traditional Health Care): Expands protections to ensure immigrants can access care in free clinics, shelters, and street-based settings without fear of ICE interference. Thank you in advance for your courage and leadership in this matter.
