SF Interfaith Coalition on Immigration . CLUE San Francisco    From JCRC's Consensus Statement on Immigration (found here) Historically, the American Jewish community has supported generous and rational immigration laws and policies. That support is rooted in large measure by the experiences of Jews seeking asylum, refuge and immigration over the course of centuries in an America that has at times closed its doors with tragic results due to anti-immigrant sentiments. In addition, Jewish tradition, values, and the dictates of our faith make this support imperative. We look both to the teachings of our Jewish religious and ethical tradition, and to core American values relating to immigrants, for guidance on immigration reform. They call on us to 'welcome the stranger' and provide an effective legal immigration system characterized by rule of law, national interest and compassionate treatment.   Painting : DESCOLORACION DE ESPERANZA by Mark Munoz     Quick Links   JCRC Events   JCRC Website   Support JCRC   Events Calendar  Every Wednesday Ongoing volunteer opportunity at the recession relief food pantry     October 21 CJA: Seeking Justice for Survivors and Holding Human Rights Abusers Accountable   November 1 Hearing of Arizona Court Case Interfaith Vigil   November 15 The Arab Lobby and the Movement to De-Legitimize Israel with Dr. Mitchell Bard November 20 The Interfaith Amigos   December 8 4th Annual Jewish Volunteer Day at Project Homeless Connect Register now!
