Hunger Strike Demands an end to Raids and Deportations Now !
On Thursday June 17 at 10:30AM, Pastor Martin Santellano, 42, the
pastor at New Hope Apostolic Ministry, during a press conference and
prayer vigil, will announce an end to his 32 day Hunger Strike begun
on May 17th . Pastor Santellano’s body has weakened and he is
responding to pleas from his family and congregation to stop before he
further risks endangering his health.
Padre Jose Landaverde is stepping into take his place. "The message is
simple. President Obama must implement an immediate moratorium on
raids, deportations, separation of families, the use of racial
profiling through 287g, and secure communities act programs, and
Arizona type laws such as 1070, until just immigration reform
legislation is adopted and implemented," said Padre Landaverde
Although they represent different denominations, Pastor Santellano,
and Padre Landaverde are both pastoring congregations of Latinos that
have suffered the consequences of the failure of President Obama to
fulfill his promise to the Latino community to pass immigration
reform.
