IT WON'T HAPPEN HERE DECLARATION
DECEMBER 2016

WHEREAS, to safeguard the equal and inalienable rights and inherent
dignity of all people that is the foundation of the relationship between a
government and the people;

AND whereas, we recognize that the rights and dignity of all people are
under threat;

WE, the undersigned organizations, call upon all Sonoma County governing
authorities and law enforcement agencies to pledge in writing to protect all
of the County's community members;

FURTHERMORE, we call upon these authorities and agencies to proclaim
publicly that they will refuse to cooperate with any demands from the
federal government to institute detentions, deportations, registries,
conversion therapies, imprisonment or any other acts that target or
discriminate based on immigration status, race, ethnicity, religion, country of
origin, ability, political affiliation, economic status, age, gender-identity or
sexual orientation;

FURTHERMORE, we, the undersigned organizations, in obedience to our
consciences, pledge to protect all community members and will support our
local governments as they move to resist these undemocratic and un-
American practices in order to reaffirm their commitment to inclusivity,
respect and dignity.
