Nuns on a Bus Immigration Roundtable

October 3 @ 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm

Nuns on the Bus and Friends Press Conference
with Mirka Dominguez-Salinas, Manager of IRIS’ Services for Undocumented Neighbors (SUN) Program and Maggie Mitchell Salem, Executive Director

We invite you to join us on October 3rd at 2:30 PM for a roundtable discussion with the “Nuns on a Bus”, as well as Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, local legislation and community partners. The roundtable discussion will focus on immigration and how FHCHC is supporting immigrants coming to Connecticut and more specifically, New Haven.  Once the roundtable discussion is complete, we will gather outside for a short press conference and the opportunity to sign the bus!

“Nuns on the Bus” is a social justice campaign initiated by a group of Catholic nuns in the United States. Launched by the Catholic social justice organization NETWORK, the campaign involves nuns traveling across the country on a bus to advocate for issues such as economic justice, healthcare access, immigration reform, and the need for a more compassionate society.  FHCHC is one of two stops in CT.  For more information on their cross country tour click here:  Our Stops – Nuns on the Bus 2024
