The Sisters of St. Joseph of NW Pennsylvania, the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, the Benedictine Sisters of Erie, and Network Advocates of Western Pennsylvania are sponsoring local participation in a nationwide action “Sisters Speak Out Prayer & Public Witness for Immigrants and a Just Economy” organized by the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, an association of the leaders of congregations of Catholic women religious in the US.
The local action will take place on Tuesday, June 24 from 1:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the corner of 18th and Ash Streets across from the Erie County Prison. (Parking is available in the lot on the southwest corner of 18th and Ash Streets.)
The effort is an invitation to participate in a bold action in response to the actions of our current government, including mass and unlawful deportations, dismantling of public institutions and environmental protections, and the current budget debate that includes sweeping cuts to Medicaid and SNAP programs.
