Sat. July 31 – Cramer Hill Community Day

Message from Camden Police Chief Thomson about the ATV situation, which our CCOP (Camden Churches Organized for People) Local Organizing Committee has worked on so closely with our police department:

Message from Chief John S. Thomson…..
Several weeks ago, we pledged to our residents to rid the streets of the menace of ATVs and dirt bikes. Our best efforts thus far has resulted with over 80 of these vehicles being impounded and held. Much of our success has come from hot line tips and anonymous postings on the DCCB website by our residents. Our elected officials have assisted with gleaning information and passing it along to me for follow-up action. But the catalyst to the program has been the extraordinary effort by the men and women on the front lines who have taken action!
Our relentless efforts have changed the mental calculus of many who previously would speed down our streets and destroy our parks. There are still individuals who will need to learn the hard way, but we will be more than happy to educate them with numerous summons, seizing their vehicle and arresting them if applicable. This is to protect our residents and most importantly our children which is the reason we took this job! Keep up the good work—Stay Safe!

The following was forwarded to us by the Diocese of Camden:

Comprehensive Immigration Reform – A Call to Action

What, in a nutshell, is the U.S. Bishops’ position on immigration reform?

The Catholic Church believes that the current U.S. immigration system is broken and needs to be reformed in all aspects, or, comprehensively. This would include:

1 - A path to citizenship for the 11-12 million undocumented in the country

2- A temporary worker program to allow migrant workers to enter safely and humanely;

3- Family-based immigration reform which allows families to be reunited more quickly. The Church also teaches that the root causes of migration—namely, global economic disparities---need to be addressed.

The Church has taken a position on immigration because, besides being an economic, social, and legal issue, it is also a humanitarian one, and, ultimately has moral implications. Each day, church social service programs, hospitals, schools, and parishes see the human consequences of a broken system: families are divided, migrant workers are exploited and abused, and human beings die in the desert. This impacts human dignity and human life and should be addressed.

In the encyclical, Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth), Pope John XXIII clearly articulates the right to migrate and the right not to migrate: “Every human being has the right to the freedom of movement and of residence within the confines of their country; and, when there are just reasons for it, the right to emigrate and take up residence elsewhere.”
