Interfaith Immigration Press Conference

HIAS Advocacy Update

Interfaith Immigration Press Conference

On February 10th, the "We Were Strangers, Too" campaign, the Interfaith Immigration Coalition, and Justice for Immigrants held a telephonic press conference to draw attention to the hundreds of thousands of postcards people of faith have signed over the last several months in support of immigration reform. The press conference also highlighted the hundreds of local interfaith events being held this February. The call included speakers from the Jewish, Mainline Protestant, Catholic, and Evangelical traditions, as well Congressman Mike Honda and Congresswoman Yvette Clarke.
