UCC IL Conf Immigration

The Taskforce was created in Spring of 2010 in response to a plea for solidarity from our brothers and sisters in the Southwest Conference in the wake of SB1070, the regressive immigration bill which was passed in Arizona. The Taskforce’s first project was to craft the resolution that was adopted by the Illinois Conference at the 2010 Annual Meeting calling for our Conference to stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the SW Conference and with our immigrant brothers and sisters. The resolution calls our Conference churches to study the issue and act with compassion toward our immigrant brothers and sisters and to find ways to stand up for immigrant rights.
