Yesterday this assembly voted to call on our church to “communicate with the President of the United States and members of congress to develop and pass comprehensive immigration reform in the current session.” To support this process in a simple way send a SMS text message to 410-357-1398 with name, zip code and email address. Your name will be added to the petition letter stating: "We, the undersigned clergy and laypeople gathered at the ELCA 2013 Churchwide Assembly, urge the U.S. Congress to enact comprehensive immigration reform legislation that establishes a fair and humane immigration system consistent with our faith values including family unity, justice, and compassion for the sojourner in our midst." Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services will send the petition to key influencers in the House of Representatives.
