Immigration Hearings July 5, San Diego
From our friends at Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice — join them, the We Are America Coalition, and others in support of comprehensive and just immigration reform! Don’t let this opportunity for re-thinking our immigration policy dissolve into punitive and ideological enforcement-only legislation. Let’s bring our thinking, prayers, and persons into the struggle.
We have breaking news and great need of your involvement. We just found out a House hearing on immigration is going to happen on Wed. July 5th in San Diego at 9 a.m. Some of the anti-immigrant leaders of the Republican party have been shaping these hearing for an enforcement only bill. And we need to make sure other voices are heard. So we are asking you to join us in San Diego next Wednesday.
In addition to the hearing itself, there will be a prayer vigil directly in front of the hearing location at 8:30 a.m.. The hearing is partly a media contest, so religious leaders expressing their opinions and concerns both inside at the hearing and outside through the vigil are very important for our work.
They expect we won’t be able to mobilize for this hearing. Let’s surprise them. Will you join us?
