Love Your Neighbor & Join Interfaith Sanctuary Alliance (ISA) Next Month!
Mar 3 – 13, 2022
The landscape of immigration in the US is confusing and ever-changing. Between continued issues of ICE presence in our communities, ever-growing numbers of asylum-seekers at the border, and an influx of Afghan refugees in the US, immigrant allies must take a stand with our immigrant neighbors.
So what can we do? JOIN US for Love Your Neighbor Week as we discuss our role as allies, stand together in our various faith traditions, and share ways to love our immigrant neighbors. Please see below for a complete schedule of events.
We hope you’ll join us as we remind our community of our sacred duty of loving our immigrant neighbors.
