CSPL Bears Prophetic Witness with ICIRR and Other Partners

Last Thursday, June 12, we took part in a press conference, rally, and march held by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR). Together, and following the actions of Jesus, we bore prophetic witness, practicing courageous, nonviolent resistance against today’s oppressive empire. Faith means solidarity, courage, and liberation in the very footsteps of Christ.

We will continue to stand in solidarity. We will continue to stand for dignity.
