Immigrant Justice Shabbat
Friday, November 10 Immigrant Justice Shabbat at TBE
On September 5, 2017, the Trump administration announced its decision to terminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. This decision puts at risk 800,000 undocumented young people who were brought to the U.S. as children and know no other country as home. The Reform Movement calls on Congress to immediately pass a clean Dream Act of 2017.
We are working to to pass a clean Dream Act by participating and are calling upon the entire community to call their elected officials to make our support for the Dream Act known.
Link to the Religious Action Center's Tool Kit for comprehensive information about DACA and the Dream Act of 2017. Page 5 has information about the call in day.
Join us on Friday, November 10 at TBE to learn more about the RAC's Immigrant Justice Campaign of which Rabbi Briskin is the national co-chair.
