El Pueblo Canta: A Concert to Celebrate the Movement for Immigrant Justice
Un concierto para celebrar el Movimiento para la Justicia al inmmigrante
In 2022, for the thirteenth year, Wellington UCC co-sponsored El Pueblo Canta along with Centro Romero and the Chicago Religious Leadership Network in support of a community where all are welcome.
El Pueblo Canta brings people together from across the city to celebrate our diversity, embolden the work for immigrant justice, and embrace the belief that who we are, is greater than any fear. All proceeds benefit the work of immigrant justice.
Centro Romero is a community-based not-for-profit with the mission to provide opportunities for those community residents with the fewest options. Through education and services, Centro Romero emphasizes the development of the whole family unit, the creation of community leadership, and self-reliance. www.centroromero.org
Chicago Religious Leadership Network on Latin America’s Immigration Program, engaging faith communities through education, advocacy and action to work for immigrant justice. www.crln.org/Chicago-New-Sanctuary
Wellington United Church of Christ is a Christian church with a focus on living our faith in action. We are ecumenical in outlook and background, respecting other faiths and traditions as paths to God. As followers of the God of Life we acknowledge God’s call to non-violence as a basic tenet of our faith, affirming and publicly declaring our opposition to all forms of oppression including injustice towards immigrant sisters and brothers.
