Description
2018 Immigrant Solidarity Lunch
June 13th at Old St. Pat's
with keynote speaker Sr. Simone Campbell
Sister Simone Campbell is the Executive Director of NETWORK. Sister Simone Campbell has served as Executive Director of NETWORK since 2004. She is a religious leader, attorney and poet with extensive experience in public policy and advocacy for systemic change. In Washington, she lobbies on issues of economic justice, immigration reform, and healthcare. Around the country, she is a noted speaker and educator on these public policy issues.
In 2012, she was instrumental in organizing the Nuns on the Bus; tour of nine states to oppose the Ryan Budget; approved by the House of Representatives. This budget would have decimated programs meant to help people in need. “Nuns on the Bus” received an avalanche of attention across the nation from religious communities, elected officials and the media.
She has led five cross-country “Nuns on the Bus” trips, focused on economic justice, comprehensive immigration reform, and voter turnout.
Join us and other supporters for an energizing gathering.
Light lunch will be provided.
All proceeds will support ICDI programs for people in immigrant detention.
