Immigration Advocacy Opportunity

The Supreme Court is currently considering the case for Dreamers (those currently protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program). Concurrently, the House has already passed H.R. 6 which would provide critical permanent legal protection to DACA recipients, and the Senate is considering its partner bill, S. 874, the Dream Act of 2019 (both of which are supported by the US bishops conference).
We encourage you to take action, encouraging our Senators to support this legislation. To do so, please click here. We also encourage you to reach out directly to our Senators and ask them to support the bill. You can reach Senator Portman’s office at 513.684.3265 and Senator Brown’s office at 513.684.1021.

Better Together Days: Feb 17-21

Better Together Days is coming February 17th to 21st 2020.
Better Together Days is a program of Interfaith Youth Core, which brings our network of campuses together for a week of interfaith action. From organizing canned food drives and dinner dialogues to panel discussions and service projects in the community, our campus partners do amazing work, and we invite you to join us this year!

IFYC Founder and President, Eboo Patel, imagines America as a ‘potluck nation’ – not a melting pot where all the flavors get meshed together and become bland goo. A potluck actively requires attendees to bring their best dishes, the dishes that reflect something about their unique background – a potluck relies on the contributions of a diverse community. Potlucks facilitate relationships between people and help build bridges by creating a space for eating and socializing and surprise connections. This is the kind of American society we are striving to build.
