Filthy Rotten System at May 2, 2014 First Friends of NJ & NY Dinner Honoring Fr. Jack Martin, A Dedicated Advocate for Immigrant Families
The Filthy Rotten System (FRS) was honored to play at St. Helen’s Church in Westfield, NJ for the annual dinner of First Friends of NJ & NY, a wonderful organization that supports and advocates for detained immigrants and their families. The Honoree Father Jack Martin has dedicated his life to the cause of immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Chris Hedges gave a moving presentation.
