Texas Impact, part of the Texas Interfaith Center for Public Policy, is inviting clergy and lay leaders to a special edition of their popular “Courts & Ports” program. It is a special opportunity for Texas religious leaders to dive deep into immigration and border policy. The event will feature expanded policy presentations and message training, specifically designed to prepare clergy and religious leaders, ordained and lay, to talk to policymakers and media, and also to prepare them to preach to and teach their congregations about immigration and related issues.
The Courts & Ports Advocacy Intensive is August 29-31, 2019, hosted by Texas Impact at First Presbyterian Church McAllen, 104 S 12th St, McAllen, TX, 78501. The cost is $250, including lodging and all meals, not including travel (travel information below).
