WASHINGTON DC— Today, immigrant rights and faith leaders gather in Washington DC to welcome Pope Francis to America and call on the immigrant rights community to renew their commitment for immigration reform by joining the National Day of Prayer for Immigrant Families, Congress, and for our Nation on September 24, 2015. We stand in solidarity with the immigrant and interfaith movement at this critical time when some Presidential candidates have expressed anti-immigrant sentiments targeting the immigrant community in the United States which is contrary to the Pope’s message of compassion for immigrant families and refugees in our communities.
