Join us for a day of immigration advocacy in Washington, DC!
Every year Cabrini University’s Center on Immigration coordinates a trip to the nation’s capital, to advocate for immigrant justice and lobby for immigration reform. We invite students, faculty, and staff to collaborate with us and travel to Washington, DC.
We would love to have you join us for our next advocacy day, which will take place on Thursday, April 16, 2020. Training and transportation will be provided. We ask that each participant fills out the attached Advocacy Day Form and emails the completed form to immigration@cabrini.edu.

In his 2019 World Day of Migrants and Refugees message, the Holy Father reiterates the Gospel command to avoid
despising “one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly
Father” (Mt 18:10). It is not just about migrants: it is a question of seeing that no one is excluded. A globalization of
indifference has led to many of us to ignore the cries of the poor, turn our backs on the marginalized, and remain
indifferent to those struggling to find a better life. We are called to help create the conditions that will lead to a better
life for everyone on the planet.
From January 5-11, 2020, the Catholic Church in the United States will celebrate National Migration Week. The theme
for this year’s celebration is “Promoting a Church and a World for All,” which reflects the need for Catholics to be
inclusive and welcoming to all our brothers and sisters. It is a call for unity to stand in solidarity with and care for those
who are excluded and marginalized.
