Regardless of whether participants in your group consider themselves “conservative” or “progressive,” Catholic or Protestant, or if they don’t fit neatly into any of these categories, they will feel welcome in this program. In the safety of community, and with the help of resources from a variety of perspectives, your small group will explore misconceptions and truths around immigration, as well as discern how our Christian faith calls us to respond. Your group will hear and read the stories of immigrants, and they will explore current topics such as family separations , DACA, TPS, and border security. In addition, through an immersion experience in your local community, hearing from a local guest speaker, and learning about tools for advocacy and engagement, participants will leave this program inspired and equipped to advocate for just, compassionate, and effective immigration policy, as well as welcome their immigrant neighbors in their own communities.
