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.

CALLING PEOPLE OF FAITH & SERVICE PROVIDERS STANDING IN SOLIDARITY WITH IMMIGRANTS! Join the national Interfaith Immigration Coalition, Church World Service and Auburn Media for a One-Day Training on Video Production
Tuesday, November 9, 2010 Chicago, IL
Auburn Media and Church World Service staff will facilitate group discussions on how to tailor the New Year's Resolution Campaign for Immigration Reform (see below for more information) for your local community, and how to effectively share your stories of solidarity, action and welcome with others across the country. Participants will tell their stories and highlight what their communities are doing - ESL classes, immigration legal clinics, congregation accompaniment programs, prayer vigils, community education, etc. - using the most effective messaging techniques; learn about best filming practices; discuss the current political dynamics of immigration reform, and brainstorm how their communities can be involved in the upcoming New Year's Resolution Campaign for Immigration Reform. In addition to providing hands-on instruction to training participants, we hope to collect powerful stories of how congregations, service providers, and community members are building more welcoming communities and advocating for immigration reform. Church World Service will assist with travel costs both for local participants and a limited number of out-of-state participants interested in sharing their stories and building their communities' capacity to utilize video for outreach, education, community building and advocacy work.
