EMM webinar offered Thursday, April 16
Stand with our DACA friends by joining the Office of Government Relations’ Rushad Thomas and Episcopal Migration Ministries’ Kendall Martin and Allison Duvall from 12:00pm ET to 2:00pm ET on April 16, Episcopal DACA Action Day, in urging lawmakers to protect undocumented people brought to the United States as children.
“The Episcopal Church has long recognized the incredible contributions to our Church and communities by undocumented young people,” said Thomas. “Yet these valuable members of our society face the prospect of deportation if the Supreme Court invalidates the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.”
This two-hour webinar will include a policy briefing, advocacy training, and conclude with all participants taking advocacy action steps together to ask Congress to pass the Dream Act. Register today and encourage members of congregations and dioceses to join in #episcopaladvocacy.
Registration is required and available here and here. The webinar will be available on-demand following the event.
