Benson Pastor and Community Leader Detained Despite Medical Condition, Facing Deportation
Vigil Planned for this Evening

Benson, NC – Pastor Jose Armando Siliezar-Sevilla, leader of the Ministerio Internacional El Verbo en Accion, and father of a 15-year-old U.S. citizen is detained at Mecklenburg County Jail charged with having lied on an application for adjustment of his immigration status. But Pastor Jose Armando was only doing what his attorney advised him, without questioning him. The family last heard from Pastor Jose Armando 3 weeks ago. He was diagnosed with diabetes after a wound on his foot got infected while in detention. The Benson community, his church, and family and friends are calling for the release of Pastor Jose Armando as he needs treatment not detention.

On June 3rd, 2014 immigration officers knocked on his door at 6 in the morning and handcuffed him in the presence of his family, including his US citizen son Jozmar who is depressed since the detention of his father.

A community vigil is planned for this evening.

What: Vigil and rally

Where: The Grove Park

Address: 406 E. Main St. Benson, NC

Time: 7 pm

We invite members of the press to join us and interview Pastor Jose Armando’s family.

Pastor Jose Armando first came to the United States in 1989 looking for a better life and settled in California. There he worked as a construction worker but the money wasn’t enough to pay the bills. Desperate to make ends meet, he became involved in drug dealing. In 1993, he was charged and convicted of drug possession and served time for two and a half years. After completion of his time in state prison, he was deported to Mexico despite being a Honduran National. That same year, Armando returned to the United States with his mind set on a better life based on the word of God. For the past 17 years, Pastor Armando has been a religious mentor and beloved community leader in Benson, North Carolina.

NAACP Challenges the Voter Suppression Law in Federal Court July 7

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 2, 2014

Contact: Sarah Bufkin, NC NAACP - smbufkin@gmail.com or 404.285.3413

Moral Mondays Come to Winston-Salem for Launch of Moral March to the Polls as the North Carolina NAACP Challenges the Voter Suppression Law in Federal Court July 7

Monday, July 7, 2014

9:30 am

Hearing on Preliminary Injunction

U.S. District Courthouse

251 N. Main St, Winston-Salem, NC

5:30 pm

Moral Monday Rally

Corpening Plaza

237 W. First St, Winston-Salem, NC

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - Shortly after the North Carolina NAACP challenges the monster voter suppression law in federal court in Winston-Salem on Monday, July 7, the Forward Together Moral Movement calls people to the first Moral March to the Polls rally a few blocks away to stand up for North Carolinians' right to vote.

"The Forward Together Movement is fighting back against this extremist attempt to obstruct and hobble the votes of North Carolinians in the courts and in the streets of Winston-Salem on July 7," said Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, president of the North Carolina NAACP. "Already, the Moral March to the Polls and Moral Freedom Summer are translating our energy from the actions in Raleigh to the grassroots organizing we'll need to galvanize the state in November. As we broaden and deepen this good work of mobilizing returning voters and registering new ones, we will embark on an intense campaign of Get-Out-the-Vote rallies, canvassing, voter education and Moral Monday actions."

In order to prevent the new voting restrictions from robbing North Carolinians of the franchise this November, the NC NAACP has filed for a preliminary injunction against the 2013 law, which many have characterized as the worst voter suppression bill passed since Jim Crow.

Led by Atty. Irving Joyner of NC Central Law; Atty. Adam Stein of Chapel Hill; Kirkland Ellis, LLP and Advancement Project, the NC NAACP legal team will argue that the new law will disproportionately disenfranchise people of color, the poor, students, the elderly and the disabled this November and should be enjoined to protect the fundamental voting rights of thousands of North Carolinians. If successful, the state would be forced to restore same-day registration, a full calendar of early voting, pre-registration for 16 and 17 year-olds and provisional ballots across precinct lines.

After the first day of the hearing concludes, people will gather nearby at Corpening Plaza starting at 5:30 pm for the first Moral March to the Polls rally. Moral leaders, policy experts and everyday people who have been hurt by this regressive public policy agenda at the NCGA will discuss the importance of getting out into the streets this summer to organize, mobilize, educate and register voters.

WHO:                         The NC NAACP and the Forward Together Moral Movement

WHAT:                      Preliminary Injunction Hearing & Moral March to the Polls Rally

WHEN:                      Monday, July 7, 2014
