Tell Seattle CityClub to Stand with Immigrants
Why this petition matters
For those who may not know, the entire immigration detention system that Trump is using was built by Secretary Johnson. There is absolutely nothing civil about the separation of children and families, the widespread abuse that goes on in these facilities, and in many cases, literal deaths caused by the inhumane treatment of ICE agents and the Department of Homeland Security. In the past two years alone, 22 immigrants died under suspicious circumstances, a good number of which have been children!
Seattle cannot distinguish itself as a “Sanctuary City” for immigrants when organizations like Seattle CityClub so willingly welcome the enemy into our own home.
Tell Seattle CityClub to uninvite Secretary Jeh Johnson & stand with immigrant communities - Sign this petition now!

Civility & Security: Seattle CityClub’s Annual Benefit
"This year, our keynote speaker on the topic of Civility and Security will be former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson. As Secretary and previously as General Counsel of the Defense Department, Johnson was a major player in key priorities of the Obama Administration and is considered one of the legal architects of the U.S. military's current counterterrorism policies."
