Enough Is Enough! Stop Tearing Our Families Apart! Comprehensive Immigration Reform NOW!
Dear friends,
We are now approaching the first anniversary of the Obama Inauguration, yet in communities across the United States, millions of people still live in fear everyday. These workers, sisters, fathers, children are under constant threat that any interaction with police-however minor-could lead to detention and even deportation. We have watched incredulously as authorities have actually increased the number of workplace raids on immigrant workers, creating an atmosphere of terror throughout our communities.
We must act now-boldly-to put an end to these injustices.
Join us in action and prayer on Tuesday, January 26th, in Washington, DC for a rally and demonstration in front of the Department of Homeland Security. There you will be in unity with immigrant workers, faith leaders, labor activists and community leaders who will be calling on President Obama and his administration to simply do what is right, and:
1. Immediately put an end to the deportation of persons with family in the US
2. Pass Just and Humane Comprehensive Immigration Reform ASAP!
We hope that you will join us on the 26th!
What: Rally and Demonstration
Where: Department of Homeland Security Headquarters
(500 12th Street SW, Washington, D.C. 20536 * L'Enfant Plaza Metro Stop)
When: Tuesday, January 26th, 12 Noon
Who: hundreds of immigrant workers, faith leaders, labor activists and community leaders from CASA de Maryland, Nakasec, Jobs With Justice, NDLON and others.
