Washington, DC – On Wednesday, June 9th at 11:00 AM EDT (10am CT, 8am PCT), Conservatives for Comprehensive Immigration Reform will have an in-person press conference in Washington, DC with some of the country’s most influential evangelical leaders to discuss strategies for breaking the stalemate in Congress on immigration reform and pray for a solution to the moral, economic and political crisis that our broken immigration system is causing for millions of families around the nation. This in-press conference with call-in capability will feature speakers like Richard Land, President of the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the public policy arm of the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S. with over 16 million members, Rich Nathan, Senior Pastor of The Vineyard Church of Columbus, Ohio, a church with a weekly church attendance of 8,500, and Leith Anderson, President of the National Association of Evangelicals, which represents 45,000 churches from over 40 different denominations. These leaders will be united in calling for action on immigration reform this year and will meet with Members of Congress, Congressional staffers, and the White House throughout the day.
