No Comments on The New Center for DREAMers

Erin Barbato, director of UW Law School’s Immigrant Justice Clinic, and Erika Rosales, director of the Center for DREAMers, will join us to discuss the new Center for DREAMers in Madison, which will coordinate services for the nearly 7,000 DACA recipients in Wisconsin. They will also give us a brief update on recent immigration policy changes and challenges. Following the presentation, the Immigrant and Refugee Rights Action Team will brainstorm ideas for future educational and action steps. Anyone can join in—we value your ideas and input!

This event is co-sponsored by the Dane Sanctuary Coalition.

Big Read Announcement

Big Read Event This Fall

We will be reading the book Separated: Inside an American Tragedy by Jacob Soboroff.

You can plan now to obtain your copy of the book:

A Room of One’s Own and Mystery to Me, two local bookstores, will each have 10 copies available to purchase.
The public library also has 18 copies, which you may reserve.
Congregations can also order books directly from the publisher, HarperCollins. Contact Matt Perrino for bulk orders at Matthew.Perrino@harpercollins.com, 212.207.7104. Let him know you are part of the Dane Sanctuary Coalition Big Read program. Orders of 5 or more will qualify for a 50% discount and orders of 30 or more will get free shipping.
If ordering on behalf of the congregation, please have your tax-exempt information available.

Individual congregations and organizations are encouraged to organize book groups to discuss the book. Some individuals or smaller groups may not be able to set up their own study groups, so we encourage them to join one of the scheduled groups.
