I hope that you had a blessed and joy-filled Christmas with your families.
National Migration Week Advocacy - Jan. 5-11 is National Migration Week and Catholics across the country will be participating in three advocacy activities to mark the week. Please do as many of these as possible - it is really important that Congressional Representatives be reminded of the importance of immigration reform:
- Tuesday, Jan. 7 - Send a JFI e-postcard for the national electronic advocacy day.
- Wednesday, Jan. 8 - Participate in the JFI National Call-In Day to Congress. Use the toll free number, 1-855-589-5698, to call your Representative and ask them to "Support a path to citizenship and oppose the SAFE Act."
- Thursday, Jan. 9 - Post on Facebook, Tweet, and re-Tweet your support for immigrants during the JFI National Social Media Day.
The information is also available at http://bit.ly/Kfs8vU.
Catholic Advocacy Day, Bulletin Announcement - Please ask that your parish run the following announcement in the weekly bulletin:
Please join hundreds of your fellow advocates from across the state for Catholic Advocacy Day, Friday, February 21, 2014 in Olympia, Washington. Your early registration allows us to ensure you get a meeting with your legislators and give voice to the cry of the poor.
The day will include:
- Briefings on legislative issues and stories of how your advocacy makes a difference
- Mass with Archbishop J. Peter Sartain
- Appointments with legislators
Catholic Advocacy Day is coordinated by Catholic Community Services, the Intercommunity Peace & Justice Center and the Washington State Catholic Conference.
Thank you for all your efforts on behalf of life, justice and peace,
Jim
