Dear Justice Prayer Partner,
We ask you to pray for the success of our advocacy efforts on behalf of Lourdes Salazar Bautista and her family, who face imminent deportation.
If you would like to participate directly in this advocacy effort, please consider attending the candlelight vigil on Friday, 11/11 at 7:00 pm at St. Mary's Student Parish in downtown Ann Arbor. Another way to help is by calling Janet Napolitano at (202) 282-8495 and John Morton, Director of ICE at (202) 732-3000. Ask them to "defer action" on the deportation order. Here is a sample script that you could use in your message:
Sample Script: "I am calling to ask that the deportation of Lourdes Salazar Bautista (A# 075-414-900) be stopped so she can remain in the United States with her children. Lourdes has 3 U.S. citizen children who need her in the country. She is a good mother and a beloved member of her community. President Obama said he wasn't going to deport people like Lourdes. Don't deport Lourdes Salazar Bautista." Also, please sign the petition here!
Also, we want to thank you for your prayers in October. Here is a report on the results from our October events:
We had beautiful weather for the CROP Walk; 500 walkers raised almost $34,000 and donated 120 lbs of canned goods for local food banks. The funds will be divided so that 75% will support efforts to fight hunger overseas and 25% will support efforts to fight hunger here in Washtenaw County.
The Human Trafficking conference on 10/29/11 was attended by approximately 70 people, including about 20 from St. Francis. Our Committee is discussing a follow-up project to further educate our parishioners about this problem and to support "Back to the Roots", a local organization in Chelsea that helps to fight human trafficking and promote fair trade.
Thank you for your continued support of Peace and Justice!
