Today's action: Call ICE and March with Max's Family

Last night we received some hopeful news about Max, which means that ICE officials are noticing the advocacy people are doing for Max.  

To help Max, we need to show that many people are watching and advocating for his release.  A strong show of support today is very important.  

There are two ways to do that.
1.  Call ICE in Washington, D.C. at 202-732-3000 or 888-351-4024. Tell them you are calling on them to stop the deportation of Mennonite pastor Max Villatoro of Iowa City (A# 094-338-085).  Max is not a threat, he is a servant leader in the community and should be returned to his family and church.  


2.  Come to Iowa City this afternoon at 4:30 for a peaceful march to speak out against the separation of families and in support of Pastor Max Villatoro to keep him with is family.  The Center for Worker Justice in Iowa City had planned a peaceful march for this afternoon, and it turns out to be perfect timing after yesterday's events. 

Here are the details, which you can also find on Facebook here.
