SUMMARY:Federal Immigration Litigation and You: Understanding the Court Process and Two Major Issues
DESCRIPTION:Register here. \nProgram Description: \nYou may have seen a flurry of headlines over the past few months discussing immigration cases making their way through the federal courts. But what do these cases mean for you? Why does it seem that the same issue results in different decisions from different courts? What is the law where you are? This training will help you understand the federal court system\, teach you key vocabulary\, and provide updates on two major current issues in immigration law: the Alien Enemies Act and third country deportations. \nWe will have Spanish simultaneous interpretation during this training. \nIf you are an attorney\, we recommend that you register for our “2025 Annual Pre-AILA Conference Hybrid Crimes & Immigration Seminar” in addition to this training. \nPlease register here! Questions? Email us at events@nipnlg.org. \n  \nCapacitación para defensores comunitaries de junio: \nLitigio federal de inmigración y usted: Entender el proceso del tribunal y dos asuntos principales \nmartes\, 3 de junio de 2025 \n1:30 de la tarde hasta las 3:30 de la tarde hora del pacífico | 4:30 de la tarde hasta 6:30 de la tarde hora este \nZoom Webinar \nDuración: Tres horas Costo: Gratis \n  \nDescripción del programa: \nEs posible que haya visto una oleada de titulares en los últimos meses hablando de casos de inmigración haciendo su camino a través de los tribunales federales.

SUMMARY:PA Citizen Climate Action Virtual Lobby Day
DESCRIPTION:Join LAMPa\, PennEnvironment and hundreds of concerned Pennsylvanians on Thursday\, June 5 for Pennsylvania’s largest annual citizen lobby day for climate action — virtually! You’ll join like-minded Pennsylvanians from every corner of the state who want our elected officials to implement climate solutions. \nWith the attacks on our environment taking place in Washington\, D.C.\, it’s more important than ever to meet with our local elected officials and let them know we need their leadership at the state level to promote clean renewable energy and fight climate change. \nPennEnvironment’s staff will schedule 1-2 virtual meetings with your elected officials\, where you’ll be joined in the meetings by PennEnvironment’s expert advocates and other concerned citizens from your community\, which take 30 minutes each on average. We’ll discuss important pending policies to promote renewable energy to help tackle climate change\, and you’ll get the chance to share why climate action is important to you. We’ll also hold a virtual rally and online actions that you can participate in throughout the day. \nSign Up here with LAMPa\, and we’ll connect you!

SUMMARY:Juneteenth
DESCRIPTION:Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom\, a time to gather in community and commemorate the official\, announced end of slavery in the U.S.\, even if the history of oppression\, racism\, and anti-Black violence that characterized it are still part of our story in church and in the United States.  \nAs ELCA Lutherans set free in Christ to seek community and to seek justice\, it is our duty to act against present injustices\, speak to our shared witness of Christ and of injustice in this world\, and join in the celebration of freedom that is Juneteenth.  \nRead an ELCA blog post from our ELCA Racial Justice Ministries director on reckoning with the legacy of slavery while moving forward here.  \nA Living Lutheran article on Juneteenth\, freedom\, and our common humanity\, written by an ELCA pastor\, is available here.  \nELCA worship resources for Juneteenth can be found here.  \nLAMPa is happy to accompany ELCA communities in the pursuit of justice and to connect them with resources for advocacy. Let us know what you are doing for Juneteenth and how we can support you by sending us an email at LAMPa@lutheranadvocacypa.org.

SUMMARY:Commemoration of the Emanuel 9
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2019 ELCA Churchwide Assembly\, voting members adopted a resolution designating June 17 as a commemoration of the martyrdom of the Emanuel 9—the nine people shot and killed on June 17\, 2015\, during a Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston\, S.C. \nThe resources referenced below are provided to help synods and congregations mark this commemoration. These resources can be adapted for virtual worship\, online conversation\, or individual reflection and devotion. You are invited to use them in whatever ways are most helpful for your local context. \nOur relationship to the shooter\, as well as two of the slain\, reminds us of both our complicity and our calling. Together we confess that we are in bondage to the sins of racism and white supremacy and\, at the same time\, we rejoice in the freedom that is ours in Christ Jesus who “has broken down the dividing wall\, that is\, the hostility between us” (Ephesians 2:14). May God continue to guide us as we seek repentance and renewal\, and racial justice and reconciliation among God’s precious children. \n\n\nThe following paragraph describing this commemoration could be provided for congregations in resources such as service folders. \nEmanuel Nine\, martyrs\, 2015\nOn June 17\, 2015\, Clementa C. Pinckney\, Cynthia Marie Graham Hurd\, Susie Jackson\, Ethel Lee Lance\, DePayne Middleton-Doctor\, Tywanza Sanders\, Daniel Lee Simmons\, Sharonda Coleman-Singleton\, and Myra Thompson were murdered by a self-professed white supremacist while they were gathered for Bible study and prayer at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church (often referred to as Mother Emanuel) in Charleston\, South Carolina. Pastors Pinckney and Simmons were both graduates of the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary. A resolution to commemorate June 17 as a day of repentance for the martyrdom of the Emanuel Nine was adopted by the Churchwide Assembly of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on August 8\, 2019. Congregations of the ELCA are encouraged reaffirm their commitment to repenting of the sins of racism and white supremacy which continue to plague this church\, to venerate the martyrdom of the Emanuel Nine\, and to mark this day of penitence with study and prayer. \n\nFind more resources for worship\, prayer\, and learning about the Emanuel 9 and racial justice in the ELCA here.
