In 2014 the immigrants’ rights movement continues will continue to grow stronger, even with weak leadership in the House of Representatives, the work to stop family separations and the push for immigration reform is moving forward and the need for faith escalation is an imperative.
We invite you to a special training Webinar focused on exploring importance of Civil Disobedience in our faith tradition, and how it’s a critical component of a dynamic campaign strategy. This Webinar will provide an extra 30 minutes for training to provide the steps of how to plan an action with civil disobedience.
Please join us Monday, January 13th 4PM- 5:30 PM EST as we together build the skills to create effective prophetic witness actions that heighten the faith voice for social justice and immigrants’ rights through Civil Disobedience.
