Sign your denomination's petition:  Endorse the campaign for driver's licenses for all in Pennsylvania! The state-wide movement to win driver's licenses for all is gaining steam. Despite a challenging campaign (Pennsylvania has a huge legislature and is very conservative!), we have coalition partners across the state, many state representatives who support House Bill 1450, and 45 endorsements from organizations, local politicians, and businesses. Our immigrant leaders decided that harnessing the power of our faith communities is a critical next step for building our power. Through a collective process, 70 NSM members decided that the first step in winning the official endorsement from religious denominations is to collect petition signatures by people of faith asking their denominations to sign on.    Click here to check out the webpage with petitions for each of our religious denominations and sign your denomination's petition! You can sign your denomination's petition online or print out a PDF version to gather signatures in your congregation. Please sign and share so we can win official denominational endorsements and build our power! The deadline for signatures is April 1. Please note: these petitions seek to win support from Pennsylvania religious denominations, so we need signatures from people here in Pennsylvania. If you are out of state and still want to help, please send it to members of your faith background in Pennsylvania! Questions? Contact Bla...@sanctuaryphiladelphia.org and/or Nic...@sanctuaryphiladelphia.org Share the religious denomination petition on Facebook! Keep supporting Carmen's assault fund! Thanks to your support, we're halfway there in raising money to support the medical care for Carmen Guerrero, an undocumented community leader and grandmother who was assaulted by the Philadelphia police during our civil disobedience against local deportations.  In just one week, we've already raised over $2,400 and need to raised $5,000 total so Carmen can cover the costs of the assault, as she doesn't have health insurance because of her legal status.  Can you pitch in today to help this amazing leader? Thank you so much to all who already donated!
