Season of Prayer, which is also co-sponsored by La Capilla del Barrio, the Council for Hispanic

Rican Alliance Los Angeles.*
On May 29, 2011, Puerto Rican political prisoner Oscar López Rivera will have served 30 years in prison.
He is one of the longest-held political prisoners in the history of the Americas. Dozens of prominent
leaders, celebrities, elected officials, religious denominations, unions, political organizations, and
thousands of citizens from across the religious and political spectrum, have expressed their support for his
release. Download the bilingual call here.
