ST. CHARLES ADVOCACY SUPPLEMENT: DREAM ACT ADVOCACY THIS WEEK

[St. Charles Social Justice]

ST. CHARLES ADVOCACY SUPPLEMENT—SEPTEMBER 24, 2011

Stop by the Advocacy Committee's table in the lobby outside Benedict
Hall after Mass this weekend and write a brief letter or sign a
petition urging your Senators to support the DREAM Act. This
bipartisan legislation would offer young people who came to the U.S.
undocumented through no choice of their own a hard-earned path to
lawful status, provided they meet strict requirements. During Mass,
you'll learn about the effect the DREAM Act could have from personal
testimonies.

A group representing St. Charles and our fellow Arlington parish Our
Lady Queen of Peace will hand-deliver the letters and petitions to the
offices of Senators Warner and Webb on Tuesday morning (September 27).
If you would like to join us, please contact Elise Cleva at
elise...@gmail.com or 571-765-0634.

You can also advocate online using the websites of NETWORK, a national
Catholic social justice lobby, and the Justice for Immigrants Campaign
of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Please see

Please consider forwarding this alert to others who may be interested
in responding.

Thank you for your time and action.
