“It’s incredibly important that the community support the campaign for immigration reform,” said Juana Vargas, a leader in Holy Redeemer Church and MOSES, “We need to stand up Detroit and in Washington DC to tell Congress that we will not be ignored any longer.  Our families are suffering terribly.  Please, support our struggle at the rally on Monday, October 12.”
