Join Catholics across the country in prayer and action for immigration reform in the seven days leading up to Pentecost (June 1-8).
May the feast of Pentecost rekindle in our hearts the fire of God's love for all, and energize us to continue the work of immigration reform in partnership with our immigrant sisters and brothers.

Sample Script:
"I am from [City, State], and as a Catholic, I urge President Obama to stop the pain and family separation caused by deportations.

Reform deportation practices to ensure that returnees are safe. Expand programs that provide alternatives to detention."
