I know catholics are pro-immigration and they have voiced out their opinions about this. Most of us dreamies here are catholics right (I know Mexicans and Filipinos would be at least)? You think there's a way to organize something with the church, or is it too risky?

The church is already involved.

US bishops announce massive postcard campaign for immigration reform

U.S. Catholic leaders want President Obama to make immigration reform a priority

those are just a couple of the ones I've read in the past few days. But they are involved already.

The priest at my church mentions immigration issues in almost everyone of his homily's. The church is definitely trying to help.

the church cares and they do help. i know around my neighborhood, they help families by bringing them food,clothes,and they also always give the kids who are in school backpacks,notebook,pencils etc. let me tell you some of them are frauds if they ask you tons of money in order to get you a green card. don't listen to them.

Wow...lots of support from the church I see. I remember once when our priest mentioned about immigration issues in his homily. It almost brought me to tears =)

Are you going to turn down the American Government when they offer you a chance to get your legal documents too?

Religious communities are often the source of talented activists and committed organizers. I'm not religious and am well aware of the history, but to overlook the important role that religion and religious leaders play in social change is naive. I've yet to hear a success story that did not involve local religious leaders in one way or another.

The church is a perfect place to organize and to turn to in your community, especially if you don't know where to start.
