Faith Communities Are Showing Up During This Religious Season to Express Immigrants Are Sacred
In light of the horrific and continued cruelty against the immigrant community, we call on all faith communities to engage in prophetic witness and actions for immigrant justice from March 28th- April 6th during this important season for faith communities.
We are at a moment when our faith calls each of us to be a bold and truthful witness – demanding ICE and Border Patrol to get OUT of our communities, release immigrant families from detention, and stop deportations. Faith communities are taking action to ensure Congress doesn’t provide any additional funds to ICE or CBP, to stop using our hard-earned tax dollars to separate families and say “Not One More Dollar.”
Now is the time to collaborate, connect and join in shared actions to strengthen the movement for immigrant justice, led by the interfaith faith community in the tradition of sacred resistance and non-violent actions.
Here’s What You Can Do: Organize Actions or Vigils
Go to your local ICE office, detention center or Congressperson’s office during Passover and Holy Week and host a vigil or public witness action to call for no more funds to be allocated to ICE and CBP for their ongoing dehumanizing campaign of family separation, detention and deportation under horrific conditions.
Strategic Locations to Consider: Detention Centers, ICE Offices, ICE Holding Facilities, Newly Purchased Warehouses that are being turned into Detention Centers
