Cincinnati Social Justice Collaborative
2009 Greater Cincinnati Social Action Collaborative Delegations from 23 area parishes voted to work collaboratively on the issues of immigration reform and foreclosures.
Two task forces are currently designing materials and opportunities for action to help parishes advance their efforts on these two issues.
- Immigration Task Force: Participants are organizing to keep together a local Ugandan family, whose beloved wife and mother is under threat of deportation. They are also meeting with elected officials regarding comprehensive reform, the DREAM Act, and opposition to expansion of immigration law enforcement to local agencies.
- Foreclosure Task Force: Participants are compiling a resource packet that will be mailed out to every parish in Hamilton, Clermont, Butler and Warren Counties to both offer support to households faced with foreclosure and to educate parishioners about the realities of the foreclosure crisis. Regional forums are also being planned for this summer at St. Ann (Groesbeck), St. Mary (Hyde Park) and Immaculate Heart of Mary (Anderson). Stay tuned for a link to this packet as well as times and dates for these forums!
