3. DJC is sending a huge Thank You and shout out to Gov. Sherrill:

In a move that is due in large part to Gov Sherrill’s opposition, Daedalus Aviation has withdrawn its request to lease hangar space from the Delaware River Bay Authority. Daedalus Aviation recently was awarded a multimillion dollar grant by DHS to purchase planes for use in deportation flights. The DRBA commission, which is responsible for Millville, Cape May and Wilmington DE airports, was voting on their rental application at their meeting on February 18.

4. Don’t forget our sister group actions next Saturday - Details available below

1. Immigrant Rights and safety are a huge concern for residents of CC, at the start of WWII, many of our families have been impacted by an unconstitutional Presidential Executive Order. Executive Order 9066 signed by President Franklin Roosevelt on on February 19, 1942  authorized the forced removal of all persons deemed a threat to national security from the West Coast to "relocation centers" further inland – resulting in the incarceration of Japanese Americans.

       On Saturday, February 21, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. members of the public are invited to join  Seabrook Education Center for a Day of Remembrance. It will be held at Seabrook Buddhist Temple, 9 Northville Rd. Seabrook, NJ
