‘IJPC held a press conference with two YES members that have DACA and the President of Xavier University to remind Congress of their March 5 deadline to pass a clean Dream Act. At the event, three Sisters of Charity shared their experience in Washington DC this week with civil disobedience during a Catholic Day of Action for Dreamers. Watch the livestream on Facebook, and be sure to read the press release.

IJPC’s own José Cabrera stood next to Fr. Graham, SJ, president of Xavier University, who said, “Jose, you make Xavier University very proud because you are a young man living your life for and with others the way we urge all of our students to do.” We’d have to agree!
