Come this Wednesday, July 7th to welcome the “Journey of Hope” from Arizona to Washington, DC.
JOIN families and community leaders from Arizona as they deliver messages and stories about SB 1070 to President Obama and Congress.
For more than 76 consecutive days at the State Capitol in Phoenix, Arizona, community leaders have been holding a continuous vigil to protest Arizona’s SB 1070 law. They have shared their stories and have stood their ground firmly against this divisive law. Now thirteen representatives have traveled from Arizona to Washington, DC – holding prayer vigils along the way – to bring their message to President Obama and our Congress. On Wednesday, July 7th at 11:30am this delegation from Arizona will explain why we must stop SB 1070 and push for Comprehensive Immigration Reform now. They will bring stories from Arizona families, written on paper doves and deliver them to the President and Congress after holding a vigil in Washington DC.
When: Wednesday, July 7th at 11:30 am eastern time
Who: Families and community leaders who have been maintaining vigil for the past 75 days.
Where: Lafayette Park, immediately north of the White House
