These are moral, not just political, issues.

The New Year is here, bringing with it more immigration policy changes and dangerous rhetoric—but also powerful stories of resilience, supportive communities, and innovative solutions for refugees and other immigrants in the United States. Join Global Refuge President and CEO Krish O’Mara Vignarajah and other members of our leadership team as we explore six of the top trends we’re seeing in policy, advocacy, programming, and more. We’ll share how we’re meeting this moment in 2026 and beyond, hear from a past client with a powerful story, and offer ways for supportive communities to make a difference in the work of welcome.

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2026 focuses on the words from St. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians: “There is one Body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling.” Echoing the theme of the LWF Thirteenth Assembly, this year’s reflections invite all Christians to “delve more deeply into our fellowship in Christ.” 

For over a decade, locations like religious worship areas, preschools, hospitals, courthouses, domestic violence shelters, among others have benefitted from protection from immigration enforcement actions, but last year, guidelines for immigration enforcement at sensitive community locations were rescinded. As a result of the protected areas policy rescission, members of Congress have taken action, and introduced the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act in the House and Senate, with Global Refuge and over 400 other organizations having endorsed the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act.

Call on your Senators and Representatives to codify protections prohibiting immigration enforcement actions in sensitive locations today!

In that order.
Over and over again.
