Called to One Table
"We are most thrilled to stand today in advocacy for our immigrant families in Idaho who contribute so much to our great state and its communities through hard work, dedication to family, and deeply held faith. We give thanks to God for them, we pray for their health and welfare, and we seek to support them in their daily lives."
