– You
are invited to a special Immigration Solidarity Event at Cedar Lane Unitarian
Universalist Church, 9601 Cedar Lane, Bethesda 20814, on Sun., June 23 at 7 PM.
RSVP at https://jamieraskin.com/June23Rally.
As the President tries to whip up a new round of anti-immigrant hysteria and
roundups, fight for comprehensive immigration reform. The House recently
passed the American Dream and Promise Act to protect millions of DACA and TPS
recipients.
In
Maryland, immigrants are a vital part of our communities. But immigrants are
again under ferocious attack by President Trump, who has initiated terrifying
crackdowns on immigrant communities and is planning increased ICE raids and
deportations. We must do everything we can to counter the harsh new turn in
immigration policy. Stand strong in solidarity with immigrant families.
Enjoy music and try to offer solace and hope for everyone demoralized and
anguished by this Administration's policies.
19] -- On Mon., June
24 at 10 AM hear a Conversation with Pakistan’s Ambassador Asad Majeed Khan at
the Carnegie Endowment, 1779 Massachusetts Ave. NW, WDC 20036-2103. George

– On
Mon., June 24 from 11 AM to 12:30 PM, Show Up: When Trump Cracks Down, the
Community Fights Back! This is hosted by New Sanctuary Movement of
Philadelphia, 114 N 8th St., Philadelphia 19107-2422. WHEN TRUMP CRACKS DOWN,
COMMUNITY FIGHTS BACK. The chilling message of massive deportations right
after Father's Day from the Trump Administration shows one more time the lack
of humanity and the violence towards people of color. The Administration
creates and perpetuates terror by militarizing borders, putting children and
families in cages, and announcing deportation crackdowns meant to intimidate
immigrant communities. Do not let fear divide and separate our families. Our
greatest strength is in coming together to ORGANIZE, DEFEND, and BUILD the
resilient community and visions that will bring us into a better world.
This
event will be held outside and will include walking around the block and
standing for an extended period of time. It is forecasted to be hot, so prepare
accordingly. Call 215- 279-7060. See https://www.facebook.com/events/2092627811033183/.

groups, faith organizations and many more to deliver our united demands for
NAFTA 2.0. Help deliver to Congress the petition demanding elimination of
Big Pharma handouts that would lock in high medicine prices, an end to
