call to action: Arizona

[bronze_ribbons]

The minister of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Phoenix writes:

I am asking you to come to Phoenix from July 28 – 30th to be a part of the National Day of Non Compliance with SB 1070. On July 29th, the day SB 1070 goes into effect, Maricopa County law enforcement has announced major sweeps and raids to implement the law. Whether or not the law takes effect that day, all will be needed — particularly ministers, with your collars on — to witness and support families.

We need at least 200 clergy and laity from across the country to come and support the human rights movement here on the ground. Thanks to a generous donation from the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock, we can provide assistance with travel to those who most need it. We can also help with home hospitality.

[As always, there are many other ways to provide support and bear witness -- I'm posting this here mainly to raise the profile of the campaign, and because there's always the off-chance that this action will be the right match for someone who happens to visit this journal.]
