SUMMARY:Table Turning - Unite to Free Them All
DESCRIPTION:Valley & Mountain Fellowship UMC are preparing for their annual Holy Week Table Turning tradition and they are calling on people of faith all across the city and county to join them for a People of Faith & Conscience to Unite in One Voice to Free Them All. \n“We have all seen the abuses of Immigration Customs Enforcement in Chicago\, Minneapolis and here at home. Immigrant siblings are being detained without legal process. Children are being caged all across our land. This is the moment that people of faith can stand together to demand the release of our people and to defend immigrant families from being torn apart. \nOn April 4th\, 4-6PM join us outside the Northwest Detention Center for a gathering of people of faith in partnership with many community groups working to free them all. Gather your people\, make your signs and be prepared to use your voice for change.” \nIf you have any questions about this event please contact Rev. Dr. DeAnza Spaulding Sekou at deanza@valleyandmountain.org.
