Volunteers needed in Arizona

United Church of Christ members in Arizona are calling for volunteers to come to Arizona and work alongside local faith leaders who are already mobilizing and organizing faith communities to take action against SB 1070.

What you can do in Arizona: 

• Help boost turnout on July 29, the national day of action. Join us in working to turn out congregants statewide for this historic event.
• Work to register new voters to lift up the voice of the people and show politicians that we will not tolerate these xenophobic laws.
• Organize local Latino workers who are abused on the work site or who have wage theft claims, working locally through the Arizona Interfaith Alliance for Worker Justice.
• Learn more about immigration issues from the perspective of the border, work alongside humanitarian aid workers in the desert, talk with migrants first hand and see the border wall construction.
• Participate in a special six-day delegation on SB 1070 conducted by Borderlinks (see below).

Housing can be worked out. If you would like to volunteer in Arizona please see the following contacts:

• Phoenix faith based organizing and voter registration, Rev. Phil Reller preller1@cox.net

• BorderLinks’ six-day delegation on SB 1070, Margi Ault-Duell  margi@borderlinks.org

If you cannot make it to Arizona, please consider doing a worship service or vigil in solidarity with Arizona.
