First and Summerfield Church, 425 College Street, New Haven, CT
<div align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><span> <br /><span class="MeduimFont">Due to President Trump’s deeply destructive order to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, Congress now has less than six months to act to protect hundreds of thousands of young Dreamers from mass deportation. We have already seen the catastrophic human impact that Trump’s heartless and immoral immigration enforcement policies have had on our neighbors and friends here in Connecticut—hardworking, law-abiding, taxpaying people being ripped from their families, in many cases deported to countries where they face immediate danger. And now Dreamers face that same threat.</span></span></span></div> <div class="MeduimFont" align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><span> I am holding an emergency field hearing on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_81685671"><span class="aQJ">Monday, September 11</span></span> from <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_81685672"><span class="aQJ">9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.</span></span> at First and Summerfield Church in New Haven to gather firsthand testimony regarding the devastating impact of Trump’s immigration policies here in Connecticut. I will share your stories on the floor of the U.S. Senate as I lead the fight to pass the Dream Act and ultimately comprehensive immigration reform to repair our nation’s dysfunctional and damaging broken immigration system.</span></span></div> <div class="MeduimFont" align="justify"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><span> </span></span></div> <div align="center"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><span><span style="color: black;"><strong>Emergency Field Hearing on Immigration</strong></span></span></span></div> <div align="center"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><span><span style="color: black;"><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_81685673"><span class="aQJ">9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.</span></span></span></span></span></div> <div align="center"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><span><span style="color: black;"><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_81685674"><span class="aQJ">Monday, September 11</span></span></span></span></span></div> <div align="center"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><span>First and Summerfield Church</span></span></div> <div align="center"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><span><a href="https://mail.communitychange.org/owa/redir.aspx?C=WQB_-GBhmIVqUS-wHcR_Xu_52bjz-l_nHRhSLWkiMKMxPJIogvfUCA..&URL=https%3a%2f%2fmaps.google.com%2f%3fq%3d425%2bCollege%2bStreet%2c%2bNew%2bHaven%2c%2bConnecticut%26entry%3dgmail%26source%3dg" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://mail.communitychange.org/owa/redir.aspx?C%3DWQB_-GBhmIVqUS-wHcR_Xu_52bjz-l_nHRhSLWkiMKMxPJIogvfUCA..%26URL%3Dhttps%253a%252f%252fmaps.google.com%252f%253fq%253d425%252bCollege%252bStreet%252c%252bNew%252bHaven%252c%252bConnecticut%2526entry%253dgmail%2526source%253dg&source=gmail&ust=1505048993741000&usg=AFQjCNHRD0crXFq6OV6HsxPQyoeSh8FGnw">425 College Street, New Haven, Connecticut<br /><br /></a></span></span></div> <div align="center"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><span>(The church is located at the corner of College & Elm Streets.
