\"\"<\/a>Cleveland Heights Coalition Meeting\u00a0Builds Power for Immigrant Rights<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cleveland Heights for Immigrant Rights<\/a>\u00a0held its first coalition meeting on June 22, 2025. This coalition and meeting were held in order to continue building power for immigrant rights in Cleveland Heights that started as a community response to the raid on Cilantro Taqueria in January 2025 and has turned into a movement of people working for immigrant rights. This raid was a catalyst for many to get involved and, according to the members of the Cleveland Heights for Immigrant Rights group, they just kept going. The meeting brought together like-minded organizations and individuals to organize for greater protections and support for immigrants in our home city.\u00a0According to Akshai Singh of Cleveland Heights for Immigrant Rights, \u201cWithin a month of taking office, the [Trump] administration has attacked my neighbors, who feed and nourish our community. I wanted to join my neighbors as we speak and demonstrate that ICE has no place in Cleveland Heights.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the coalition meeting, Cleveland Heights for Immigrant Rights shared the policy proposal they will call on Cleveland Heights City Council to pass, and the group provided feedback and input. This feedback will be integrated and shared in meetings with all City Council members and the Mayor with a demand to quickly pass meaningful immigrant rights legislation. Jamie Hickner of Cleveland Heights for Immigrant Rights said they \u201cwere deeply encouraged to hear participants voice such strong support for a City Council resolution affirming the rights of all Cleveland Heights immigrants, regardless of their birthplace, ancestry, or immigration status. Our city is proud to be a \u2018welcoming city,\u2019 but the times we live in demand more.\u201d Hickner elaborated by saying, \u201cWe need a set of robust city policies and community-wide collaborations to protect and support our immigrants. No one should live in fear that they or a family member could be abducted, hidden away in a prison in another state or country, or deported to a foreign land to face violence, persecution, or death.\u201d That sentiment rang true for all attending.<\/p>\n

The meeting was so well-attended that chairs and tables had to be added on to accommodate the group multiple times. \u201cBut this was not a surprise,\u201d says Sheila Keller of ClvHts4ImmigrantRights. \u201cI grew up here, and I know that the history of our city and the foundation we stand on is one built by coalitions of people like ours who fought for the recognition of the humanity of all people. We fought for these values before, and we are not going to give them up now.\u201d After canvassing local businesses and passing out Know Your Rights (KYR) information, they collected\u00a0over 70 signatures of local businesses<\/a>\u00a0pledging support for immigrants. Now they are training volunteers to go back out to those businesses and do more in-depth KYR trainings, in addition to pushing for legislation here in Cleveland Heights.\u00a0Cleveland Heights 4 Immigrant Rights is a grassroots movement for immigrant rights in Cleveland Heights.

Reuni\u00f3n de la Coalici\u00f3n de Cleveland Heights Fortalece los Derechos de los Inmigrantes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cleveland Heights por los Derechos de los Inmigrantes celebr\u00f3 su primera reuni\u00f3n de coalici\u00f3n el 22 de junio de 2025. Esta coalici\u00f3n y reuni\u00f3n se llevaron a cabo para continuar fortaleciendo la defensa de los derechos de los inmigrantes en Cleveland Heights, una iniciativa que comenz\u00f3 como respuesta comunitaria a la redada en Cilantro Taqueria en enero de 2025 y que se ha convertido en un movimiento de personas que trabajan por los derechos de los inmigrantes. Esta redada impuls\u00f3 la participaci\u00f3n de muchos y, seg\u00fan los miembros del grupo Cleveland Heights por los Derechos de los Inmigrantes, la iniciativa sigui\u00f3 adelante. La reuni\u00f3n reuni\u00f3 a organizaciones e individuos con ideas afines para organizarse y lograr una mayor protecci\u00f3n y apoyo para los inmigrantes en nuestra ciudad. Seg\u00fan Akshai Singh, de Cleveland Heights por los Derechos de los Inmigrantes: \u201cApenas un mes despu\u00e9s de asumir el cargo, la administraci\u00f3n [de Trump] ha atacado a mis vecinos, quienes alimentan y nutren a nuestra comunidad. Quer\u00eda unirme a mis vecinos en este momento y demostrar que ICE no tiene lugar en Cleveland Heights.\u201d En la reuni\u00f3n de coalici\u00f3n, Cleveland Heights por los Derechos de los Inmigrantes comparti\u00f3 la propuesta de pol\u00edtica que solicitar\u00e1n al Ayuntamiento de Cleveland Heights que apruebe, y el grupo brind\u00f3 comentarios y sugerencias. Estos comentarios se integrar\u00e1n y compartir\u00e1n en las reuniones con todos los miembros del Ayuntamiento y el alcalde, con la exigencia de aprobar r\u00e1pidamente una legislaci\u00f3n significativa sobre los derechos de los inmigrantes. Jamie Hickner, de Cleveland Heights por los Derechos de los Inmigrantes, dijo que “se sintieron profundamente alentados al escuchar a los participantes expresar un apoyo tan firme a una resoluci\u00f3n del Ayuntamiento que afirma los derechos de todos los inmigrantes de Cleveland Heights, independientemente de su lugar de nacimiento, ascendencia o estatus migratorio. Nuestra ciudad se enorgullece de ser una ‘ciudad acogedora’, pero los tiempos que vivimos exigen m\u00e1s.” Hickner profundiz\u00f3 diciendo: “Necesitamos un conjunto de pol\u00edticas municipales s\u00f3lidas y colaboraciones comunitarias para proteger y apoyar a nuestros inmigrantes. Nadie deber\u00eda vivir con el temor de que \u00e9l o un familiar pueda ser secuestrado, encerrado en una prisi\u00f3n en otro estado o pa\u00eds, o deportado a un pa\u00eds extranjero para enfrentar la violencia, la persecuci\u00f3n o la muerte.” Ese sentimiento fue muy cierto para todos los asistentes. La reuni\u00f3n tuvo tanta concurrencia que tuvieron que a\u00f1adirse sillas y mesas varias veces para acomodar al grupo. “Pero esto no fue una sorpresa,” dice Sheila Keller de ClvHts4ImmigrantRights. “Crec\u00ed aqu\u00ed y s\u00e9 que la historia de nuestra ciudad y los cimientos sobre los que nos asentamos se construyeron gracias a coaliciones de personas como la nuestra que lucharon por el reconocimiento de la humanidad de todas las personas. Luchamos por estos valores antes y no vamos a renunciar a ellos ahora.” Despu\u00e9s de recorrer negocios locales y distribuir informaci\u00f3n sobre Conozca sus Derechos (KYR), recolectaron m\u00e1s de 70 firmas de negocios locales que se comprometieron a apoyar a los inmigrantes. Ahora est\u00e1n capacitando a voluntarios para que regresen a esos negocios y realicen capacitaciones m\u00e1s exhaustivas sobre KYR, adem\u00e1s de impulsar la legislaci\u00f3n aqu\u00ed en Cleveland Heights. Cleveland Heights 4 Immigrant Rights es un movimiento de base por los derechos de los inmigrantes en Cleveland Heights.
