Christmas Postcard Campaign

Wesley UMC is joining the UMC's General Board on Church and Society (GBCS), the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), and many others in an interfaith plea for comprehensive immigration reform sponsored by the Interfaith Immigration Coalition. The coalition supports:

  1. Uphold family unity as a priority of all immigration policies
  2. Create a process for undocumented immigrants to earn their legal status and eventual citizenship
  3. Protect all workers and provide efficient channels of entry for new migrant workers
  4. Facilitate immigrant integration
  5. Restore due process protections and reform detention policies
  6. Align the enforcement of immigration laws with humanitarian values

You can participate in the postcard campaign by filling out 3 postcards--one for each member of your congressional delegation--distributed in worship December 6, and returning them to CSAM by Dec. 20 through the offering plate or the collection point in the center office. Once sent to the Coalition, they will be combined with the other participants' voices to send a concentrated, collective call to action on immigration reform.
