Illinois Maya Ministry Forum - "Immigration Stories"Saturday, April 17Our Savior's Lutheran Church, Rockford, Illinois, Registration: $35.00 Presenter, Rev. David Vásquez, Campus Pastor, Luther College, Decorah, Iowa,Our Savior's Lutheran Church, Rockford, IL Rev. Vásquez is presently the campus pastor at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. During this, his sabbatical year, he has been focusing on migration narratives--in the Bible and in people's lives today--exploring how the immigrant experience mighthelp us better understand our sacred texts while engaging our faith communities in the contemporary conversation about immigration reform. Pastor Vásquez was pivotal in providing support and advocacy for the immigrant community in Postville and Decorah, Iowa, after the largest (to that date) Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid in May 2008. A play recounting the experience of the Guatemalan and Mexican workers of the May 12, 2008, raid in Postville, Iowa, will be presented that was originally acted out by people who were detained awaiting deportation.

Say Yes to Civil Rights!July 29th in Chicago's City Hall
121 N. LaSalle * 2nd Floor * 11-12:30
A Public Unity Event for Chicago's Civic and Community Leaders
11:00 AM - Press Conference in 2nd Floor Hall
12:00 PM - Reception in Council Chambers
July 29th is set to be the day that SB 1070 - Arizona's anti-immigrant, anti-civil rights law - is set to go into effect. Meanwhile, Arizona-style policies are cropping up around the country, including in Illinois. In Chicago, we will stand unified for an alternative vision of immigration, one that embraces our common values of family, faith, fairness, and civil rights.
We invite you to join religious leaders like Fr. Chuck Dahm and Rev. Slim Coleman, law enforcement officials like Winnetka Police Chief Joe DeLopez, Illinois Business Immigration Coalition Co-Chair Billy Lawless, elected officials, members of the "Chicago 9" immigrant students who risked arrest in Washington, DC., and dozens of civic leaders to stand united against hate. At the event, we will welcome home citizen children who are marching in Washington on July 28th for real solutions for their parents. Together, we will "Say No to Arizona and Say Yes to Civil Rights, to Families, to Education, and to Real Solutions."
The reception is hosted by Alderman Danny Solis, and there will be a special announcement by Alderman Edmund Burke, Alderman Richard Mell, and Alderman George Cardenas at 11:00 to introduce the strongest anti-SB 1070 ordinance in the country.
This is a unity event, with leaders coming from all sectors, all religious faiths, and all political backgrounds. The "Say Yes to Civil Rights" event is co-sponsored by the Southwest Organizing Project, Logan Square Neighborhood Association, Jewish Council on Urban Affairs, the New Sanctuary Coalition, the Northwest Neighborhood Federation, the Organization of the North East, Centro Sin Fronteras, Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, the Chicago Workers Collaborative, the Immigrant Youth Justice League, and the Illinois Business Immigration Coalition.
