Hi John, I'm Lisa and I head up the National Immigrant Justice Center's (NIJC) office in Goshen, Indiana. I'm excited to announce that we'll be taking NIJC's second 5K Run/Walk for Immigrant Justice virtual this year!

Please join us for NIJC's Virtual 5K Run/Walk for Immigrant Justice week from Sunday, November 8, 2020 through Sunday, November 15, 2020! Register here: bit.ly/NIJC5K2020

Choose any day during the event week, pick your favorite trail or route near you, and run or walk together (virtually) with people around the U.S. to support immigrant rights and fund life-changing legal services. Register before October 12th to get a free T-shirt with your registration: bit.ly/NIJC5K2020

By participating, you will fund legal services for people like Yesenia, who is a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient and a nurse in the COVID-19 unit at her local hospital in Indiana. Without DACA, Yesenia would not be able to provide her patients with the medical care that they need during this global pandemic. Like many other DACA recipients, Yesenia relies on NIJC for legal services needed to renew DACA.

We hope you'll join us to support immigrant rights and fund life-changing legal services that keep families together and safe, prevent deportation, and ensure everyone knows their rights.

Plus, if you're on the competitive side, there's awards for the top finishers!

Remember to sign up before October 12th to get a free T-shirt! 

Please spread the word and forward this email to friends, family, and colleagues and invite them to join you for the virtual 5K! We want a great turnout to show that communities across the country support and welcome immigrants.

Thank you,

Lisa Koop
