Urge Governor Meyer to protect Delawareans' civil liberties.

Ver en español

The Trump administration has begun devastating attacks on federal and constitutional protections with a flurry of Executive Orders. Now more than ever, Delaware’s reputation as the “First State” must motivate us to set an example as a leader in the fight for our civil rights and liberties.

Governor Meyer has already demonstrated strong leadership when it comes to pushing back against policies that endanger immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, those seeking reproductive healthcare, and students.

While serving as New Castle County Executive, he signed the “Safe and Inclusive Communities” Executive Order in response to President Trump’s deportation campaign in 2017, ensuring county police focused on community safety, not federal immigration laws, and guaranteeing equal access to county services regardless of immigration status.

During his 2024 gubernatorial campaign, Governor Meyer pledged to take actions to:

Ensure undocumented children are protected and cared for;
Guarantee an equitable education for all students; and
Support the creation of a Reproductive Healthcare Equity Fund.

In his inaugural address just weeks ago, Governor Meyer promised Delawareans to use every power vested in his office to “protect our residents, our livelihoods, and our values” should the president or his administration “try to come into our communities to harass folks who came to our country, and our state, in search of a better life.”

During such chaotic and uncertain times, Governor Meyer’s commitments are welcome. We’re asking you to send a message to Governor Meyer thanking him for his commitments thus far and urging him to immediately issue an Executive Order refusing to cooperate with any action by the federal government that could deny Delawareans their constitutional rights.

Governor Meyer is not new to the fight to protect our state. Join us in thanking him for his past leadership and letting him know we have his back when he takes action to protect our most vulnerable residents.

Tell Governor Meyer: We support bold, proactive leadership and we need statewide protections in place now.

Subject

Delaware is on the frontlines of our freedom. Here are four concrete steps you can take right now to protect our civil liberties in a second Trump administration:

1. Refuse to cooperate if the Trump administration engages in massive anti-civil liberties actions such as information requests on people accessing reproductive or gender affirming healthcare, indiscriminate immigration raids, and more.

2. Protect immigrant communities by refusing to cooperate with dragnet immigration raids that the Trump administration may begin. The Attorney General can release guidance to prosecutors to ensure they are aware of the consequences of minor criminal convictions on a person’s immigration status, and coordinate relief to families that may be targeted.

3. Guarantee equal access to education by calling on the Attorney General to clarify that Delaware law protects vulnerable students, such as families of immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, and others who may be targets of the Trump administration.

4. Safeguard access to reproductive healthcare by creating a Reproductive Equity Fund to ensure that providers, abortion funds, patients, and others have reliable and stable funding to continue to provide reproductive healthcare.

Message Body

It is up to you to ensure that our state sets an example as a place where all people are treated equally and with dignity.

Thank you for your continued leadership,

Sincerely,

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.
