Texas congregations of all religious traditions are invited to participate in a special initiative led by our friends at Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services to write and distribute holiday cards to 1,700 women and children held in family immigration detention facilities by Christmas of 2014. This is a great way to raise awareness in your community about family detention, as well as to offer hope and basic human kindness to women and children being held in detention facilities. The deadline to get your cards mailed is December 9. For more information, visit the Texas Interfaith Center for Public Policy‘s Web site.
