Date: Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 9:48 AM<br>Subject: Pilgrimage for Citizenship - Only 1 week away!<br>To: Karen Medina <<a href="mailto:kmedina67@gmail.com">kmedina67@gmail.com</a>><br><br><br><p><span style="font-size:13px;line-height:1.6em">Dear Allies, </span></p>
<p> In one week, 20 IPA leaders will embark on a 2-day, 30-mile "Pilgrimage for Citizenship". These folks are walking from Decatur to Taylorville to highlight the stuggles of the immigrant community and to urge Rep. Rodney Davis (IL-13) and his colleagues in the House of Representatives to find a humane solution to our immigration problem. We want congress to pass an immigration reform that respects family and human dignity and that includes a pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented Americans. The only way we can accomplish this is if we show them that our movement is strong and not going away - that this growing movement unites all people who share the values of family,
love and justice. On Oct. 5th, over 100 immigrant justice events will take place across the country.<br>
<br>
If you're not up for a 2-day walk through the heartland--we totally understand.<br>
