We Need You to Stand for Immigration Justice
- Pray: About how your spiritual gifts can help welcome the stranger, share God’s love and mercy, and serve the poor, forgotten, and fearful. Consider direct communication and service, both private and public prayer and witness, and ways to support clergy, lay leaders, and parish communities already providing pastoral care and accompaniment to immigrants.
- Educate: Yourself and others about current laws and policies impacting immigrants in your community, locations of detainment centers near you, and demographics about those most impacted by mass deportation. Become familiar with reforms endorsed by faith leaders, such as Catholic bishops.
- Cross Boundaries: Explore connections with immigrants in your community through faith-based programs and charities supporting migrants with legal aid, resettlement, humanitarian aid, and community integration, including major organizations like Catholic Charities, Church World Service (CWS), and World Relief, alongside networks like National Justice for Our Neighbors, Immigrant Hope, and various denominational groups (UCC, Presbyterian, etc.)
Advocate: for changes that uphold human dignity with laws, policies, and enforcement. Stand together with faith leaders in organizations such as Justice for Immigrants, Faith in Public Life, Christians for Social Action, CLINIC
- Sign The Cabrini Pledge,named for the first American Catholic saint, Mother Francis Cabrini, an immigrant who served immigrants.
- Access communication and action tool kits offered by faith communities, such as You Are Not Alone
