Catholic sisters from ten religious communities in Iowa and neighboring states kicked off a campaign on immigration Monday.
The sisters are responsible for a billboard that's up on Interstate 29.
Their hope is that this billboard, along with others across the state, will provoke discussions about immigration and encourage people to know their candidates before they head to the polls.
Sister Shirley Fineran with Franciscan Sister says, "Putting up a billboard at this time is very timely in terms of the upcoming election year and caucuses so we're hoping that people listen. It's a good time to write to our legislators and certainly President Obama."
The sisters have declared themselves "welcoming communities" and they hope other people will as well.
Their campaign is a direct response to a deportation program that aims to identify and remove illegal immigrants from the country.
