Immigration Rights workgroup

The EDP Steering Committee feels strongly that EDP should be taking action in different ways on immigration issues, especially in light of the current administration's practices of separating children from parents at the border and breaking up families in the States through deportation.

Up to now it has been the EDP practice to have workgroups form when leaders with a passion for an issue came forward and took charge. We are breaking with that tradition here because we feel strongly that we need to reassemble our Immigration Rights Workgroup, which has been quiet for several months since Mandy Bryant stepped down. We thank Mandy Bryant for her leadership of this group in the early days of EDP, and we hope someone will step forward and fill her shoes.

We hope you will consider this. We have support tools for workgroup leaders that would aid you in setting up. We recommend that workgroups have co-leaders so it is unlikely you would be carrying the full work burden.

If you would consider future participation with the Immigration Rights Workgroup—in any capacity—please contact any member of the Steering Committee or send an email here.

The Steering Committee thanks you for considering this.
