Welcome to the Pacific Northwest Mennonite Conference

Please RSVP by email to office@pnmc.org by May 15. 
This teach-in will be led by retired public defender and immigration attorney, Jay Stansell, J.D., M.B.A., from Seattle, WA.  Megan Ramer (Pastor, Seattle Mennonite) and I recently took part in a training that Jay facilitated for the Church Council of Greater Seattle, and we were impressed by the clarity and applicability of the content he offered. Jay has agreed to share an adaptation of this presentation for our entire PNMC community. The focus will be on constitutional rights that can be appealed to by all immigrants and citizens, and how we can help create "communities of non-participation" in the current unjust practices of our federal government. I think you will find that Jay's input will provide good groundwork for more localized efforts.
