Take Action! Join Us!
The Absalom Jones Center for Racial Healing held a meeting on July 1 to address the concerns of immigration with a focus on detention camps in America. More than 35 people from various parishes and local organizations attended. Together, we came up with various "calls to action" to bring awareness to the inhumane conditions of detention camps, and to end their existence, especially for those who are too young to have a voice. Attached is the list of the actionable steps that you and your parish, friends and family can take to help end human detention camps. Please feel free to reply with any ideas you may have, or to share with us actions you may already have taken. Together, we will make a change!
