Thursday, July 27th, 2006- The Rescue Community will leave for four days
on the Caravan trip to the National Grassroots Immigrant Strategy
Conference in Washington DC. It is a well known fact that people of color
and minorities have been ruthlessly oppressed in Maine. We will travel to
work in solidarity with immigrants nationwide while they stuggle through
current legislation that seeks to legalize institutionalized oppression
forever. Many of you have other Summer plans but please put them aside
for four days and please join us on this historic journey to the immigrant
solidarity conference! You can make a difference! All are welcome to
join us! "The food that overflows our market shelves and fills our tables
