Oregon Immigrant Rights Coalition to join multi-state caravan to California

Caravan to call on President Obama and Democratic Congress: Keep your PROMISE and pass immigration reform now

Salem, Ore.--Next Wednesday, members of CAUSA, Oregon's Immigrant Rights Coalition, will join with immigration reform advocates from California, Idaho and Washington State in a caravan that will go to California.

The caravan will join with more than one thousand other advocates from around the nation on October 15th at Santa Clara University where Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano is expected to speak. Those in attendance will call on the Obama Administration and the Democratic Congress to stop deporting families and keep their promise and pass immigration reform.

Prior to the departure from Salem, CAUSA will hold a press conference on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. with a dinner to follow at 5:00 p.m. Pastor Gail McDougal of the First Congregational Church in Salem will be present to give a blessing to all those departing on the journey. All immigrant rights supporters and the media are invited to attend.
