DSC

DSC is asking our member congregations, many of whom are not having in-person services due to the pandemic, and our nonprofits to plan an outdoor, socially distanced and masked postcard-signing event in their parking lot or a member’s home driveway, to send special postcards we’ve received from Voces de la Frontera asking our representatives to retain the language setting up a pathway to citizenship for 5 million undocumented immigrants (see categories above) in the Reconciliation Bill in Congress.  We will collect and deliver the signed postcards to the Madison offices of Congressman Mark Pocan and Senators Tammy Baldwin and Ron Johnson before they vote on the bills at the end of September.


So far Orchard Ridge UCC, Midvale Lutheran, First Baptist Church, Madison Christian Community, and James Reeb Unitarian Universalist Congregation are planning outdoor postcard signing events on Sept. 5, 12 and 19, the last date before we need to receive the signed postcards and hand-deliver them all together to the representatives’ offices in Madison.


To participate, contact Leila Pine from the DSC Steering Committee at sabinosanctuary@gmail.com and send her your name, which congregation or group you belong to, which date(s) you are planning your event on, and how many postcards you need for each representative (20 or more as needed).  She will send you an announcement to submit for your congregation’s weekly e-mail, event instructions, and arrange for you to pick up your postcards in time for your event.
