Congratulations to the UUs of Cedar Lane, in Bethesda, for winning the "Collaborative Social Justice Program Award" from the regional UUs for Social Justice (UUSJ) for their work with Action in Montgomery!  AIM is an affiliate of the IAF (Industrial Areas Foundation) a broad-based interfaith people's power multi-faith congregationally-based community organization - like UUCA's VOICE (Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement).

HEARING ON SECURE COMMUNITIES DEPORTATION PROGRAM -

UUs INVITED TO FAITH RESPONSE

 On Wednesday, August 24 from 6:00-8:00 PM, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will hold a community hearing in Arlington County on the Secure Communities Program. Last year, the Arlington County board led the way in opting out of the program and was followed by states including New York, Illinois and Massachusetts. Yet earlier this month, ICE decided to rescind any existing agreements with states and declare that participation is mandatory nationwide. In a recent report by the USCCB, the Catholic bishops’ position stated that Secure Communities should be “frozen until meaningful changes to the program are made,” and that it does not believe the program “can or should be expanded to every jurisdiction nationwide” because it “would represent a disregard for the very real and human damage the program has caused.” Faith communities in Arlington are organizing a response at this hearing. If you are interested in taking part on Wednesday evening, please contact Greg Staff at 703-979-5580 or gstaff@olqpva.org and he will keep you updated, particularly regarding the yet to be determined location of the hearing.

Zimmerman Pledges Improvements for Pike-to-DHS Bus Service

The county's top elected official has pledged to solve a snafu that has left some residents of western Columbia Pike with few good options in getting to the county's relocated Department of Human Services (DHS) headquarters for medical treatment and other services.

"We're going to fix this," County Board Chairman Chris Zimmerman said at the March 19 meeting of VOICE (Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement), held at Greenbrier Baptist Church.

Oops, I didn't complete my last comment. I was trying to say that I read Robert Buckman's summary of VOICE accomplishments January-June, 2010, as well as everything about VOICE that's on the web, but couldn't figure out how to become a member of the UUCA VOICE group. I hope someone will show me how.
