Subject: ACTION ALERT: White House Rally on Thursday June 1 at 11 AM
Dear Sanctuary Team,
Please join Rev. Rob Hardies, Rev. Rob Keithan and Rosemary Dodd (All Souls' Summer Intern focusing on Sanctuary and Refugee Support) at the White House on Thursday June 1 at 11 AM to protest the cruel and inhumane deportation of Liliana Cruz Mendez. Showing up to support individual people is a critically important way to draw media and public attention to the injustice that impacts entire communities.
Liliana is a long-time community leader and member of CASA, a Latino and immigration advocacy-and-assistance organization. She is the mother of two US citizen children -- ages 4 and 10. Clergy and faith activists from the DMV Sanctuary Congregations network gathered with Liliana and her family before her ICE check-in on Thursday 5/18 in Fairfax. We heard her words of appreciation for the support, and we offered our love and prayers for her and her family. Tragically, ICE took her into custody and then moved her to a detention center three hours away in VA.
Please join us to stand up and say NO to these deportations that are tearing apart families, leaving US-citizen children mother-less, and causing fear and grief to ripple throughout our communities. We will be gathering at the White House at 11am on Thursday to make our faith voices ring loud and clear. We hope you can join us! And please invite anyone else who may be interested.
If you can attend, please email Rosemary, RDodd@allsouls.ws, to let us know that you're coming.
In Faith,
Rob
