Tuesday May 12, 2009 marks the one year anniversary of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid at Agriprocessors in Postville, Iowa. St Bridget's Church in Postville Iowa, the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs in Chicago, Jewish Community Action in Minneapolis, and communities of faith around the country will mark this anniversary in a variety of ways; all communities are invited to join them. We mark this day, in part, to let the people of Postville know we have not forgotten them, and to strengthen our own resolve to fight for immigration reform, an end to raids, and improved working conditions. We invite you to mark this day by joining gatherings, marches and interfaith prayer vigils being organized across the country.
On this nationwide day of remembrance and solidarity, | ||
