CALL2ACTION: 090216/NC-Raleigh-Prayer Vigil to call for Comprehensive Immigration Reform

via El Pueblo, Inc
-------------

Dear friends & allies,

Two weeks ago, the Interfaith Immigration Coalition, a partnership of faith-based organizations committed to enacting fair and humane immigration reform, announced a national effort to organize prayer vigils coinciding with the first recess of this session of Congress, February 13-22, when members will be home in their districts. El Pueblo, Inc., in partnership with the NC Council of Church and the NC United Methodist Church, is inviting you to attend a Raleigh, NC prayer vigil to call for comprehensive immigration reform and shed light on the raids and deportations that have separated thousands of families. As you may know by now, NC is second in the entire nation (following Texas) in immigration enforcement and thousands of immigrants are deported from NC, most for misdemeanors and without having been convicted of a crime.

The Raleigh, NC prayer vigil will take place on Monday, February 16th, 2009 at 10AM at the North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church, 1307 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, NC. See flyer below.

We hope you can join us as we pray for the protection of immigrants, empowerment of the faith community to speak out and take action for immigrants, and moral courage of Congress to pass humane, just immigration reform.

In Solidarity,

Sally
