Sanctuary Congregation Network Deportation Defense Training, hosted by DMV
Sanctuary Congregation Network at the All Souls Church Unitarian Church, 1500
Harvard St. NW, WDC 20009-4290. Get tickets at docs.google.com.
This
training is designed to inform congregations on the role that they can play in
stopping the deportation of community members through both accompaniment
supports and deportation defense strategies. The training will provide a
step-by-step process on how to escalate a public case through social and
traditional media and advocacy on behalf of the family. The training will also
provide congregations an understanding of the major organizing objectives of
publicly lifting up an individual case and how to strategically connect the
individual person’s situation to the larger local, regional and national immigration
enforcement crisis.
Participants
will receive detailed information on how to (a) engage in one or more of the
teams that have been formed by the DMV Sanctuary Congregation Network to
support our regional deportation defense activities; and (b) strengthen and
expand your own individual congregation’s engagement in the sanctuary supports
movement. Register at https://goo.gl/forms/NFsehsTJHsxtsBm93

Seventh Day,” hosted by Soccer Without Borders -
Baltimore and Creative Alliance, 3134 Eastern Ave., Baltimore
21224. Tickets are at www.creativealliance.org.
The film follows a group of undocumented immigrants living in Sunset Park,
Brooklyn over the course of seven days. Bicycle delivery guys,
construction workers, dishwashers, deli workers, and cotton candy vendors, they
work long hours six days a week and then savor their day of rest on Sundays on
the soccer fields of Sunset Park. José, a bicycle delivery worker, is the
team's captain - young, talented, hardworking and responsible. When José's team
makes it to the finals, he and his teammates are thrilled. But his boss throws
a wrench into the celebration when he tells José he has to work on Sunday, the
day of the finals. José tries to reason with his boss or replace himself, but
his efforts fail. If he doesn't work on Sunday, his job and his future will be
on the line. But if he doesn't stand up for himself and his teammates, his
dignity will be crushed. It is directed by Jim McKay. See https://www.soccerwithoutborders.org/baltimore
