| A Look Back at 2011 |

For those engaged in the work of justice, 2011 was a year of frustration. However, members of the Justice and Peace Action Network refused to be silenced. |
Together you sent nearly 33,000 letters, faxes and phone calls to decision makers.
Get ready for a year of justice work in 2012 by reviewing the actions taken on issues last year.

"EXODUS" the documentary
On May 21, 2010, Southwest Pictures was formed to create an honest documentary about Arizona’s controversial immigration law and its effects on human beings from a faith and social justice perspective.
When this project was conceived the term “Exodus” was in reference to the emigration of people from the Latin community (including significant portions of one UCC congregation) who felt that it was necessary to move away from Arizona to other places that might be “Safer” for their families to reside without fear of family breakup.
NOW it appears that “Exodus” WILL also apply to some of the freedoms that we currently enjoy as “We the People.”
