CleanAIRE NC stands with our immigrant neighbors and all communities across North Carolina currently facing a surge in ICE raids and federal enforcement actions. The devastation and fear these actions have caused—tearing apart families and disrupting entire communities—is heartbreaking.
Immigrants are an integral part of North Carolina’s fabric. They are our coworkers, our friends, our congregation members, and our families. An attack on immigrant communities is an attack on North Carolina itself.
It is critical that we, as a state and as a community, stand united against policies that seek to divide us. We call on all North Carolinians to take action and support each other.
We urge those who are impacted by these raids or are in fear of their safety to reach out for help. There are organizations and resources available to provide legal support, emergency assistance, and community solidarity. If you or someone you know is in need of assistance, we recommend contacting the following organizations:
• Statewide: Call 336-543-0353
• Charlotte: Call 704-740-7737
• Wake County: Call 1-800-559-8714
