Dear friends and workers,
 
Last night was a great night for prayer and community organizing. Mixed
status and multiracial Catholic families came together with parishioners
from all four of our local churches, as well as Newman Center college
students, Jewish people from the local synagogue, UCC members, Methodists,
Presbyterians, atheists, and everyday people from all walks of life.
 
After Fr. Sakhile Peter said Mass, we ate together, shared stories about
what's at stake for each of us, heard updates about our mission and work
over the last eight years, and brainstormed ways we can organize
collectively to protect refugee children and keep immigrant families
together.
 
Tonight, Escucha Mi Voz Iowa members will hold a similar meeting in Spanish
with dozens of immigrant workers.
 
Did you miss last night's meeting but want to get involved in building our
growing movement to welcome the stranger and share the journey? We will
host a Zoom meeting this Monday night at 7pm for all those who missed
it. Register
here <https://secure.everyaction.com/mYJAP2VWX0yW2KyBNGD_jg2> today!
 
Thanks to Fr. Peter and all those who came to lift up our prayers and our
voices for the human dignity of hard-working immigrant families,
 
Emily, David, and the Catholic Worker House team
