“We’re not the Statue of Liberty country”
As the ICE Gestapo fills its Gulag with our neighbors, family, colleagues, and friends,
the time is NOW to call this country to its conscience. Or melt down Lady Liberty.
All Welcome!
Great for faith- and community-based organizations with a social justice focus, human and immigration rights advocacy groups, activist and nonfiction book clubs.
APRIL 27: On CRIMINALIZING THE CAREGIVERS
Sarah and Dora together in Organ Pipe National Monument paying respects at Dora’s “sacred spot” where the Sanctuary Movement was born, now immortalized by Alvaro Enciso’s commemorative crosses.
Following the kick-off event of our burgeoning learning community on March 30, with featured speakers Reverend John Fife and Dora Rodriguez, co-padres of the 1980s Sanctuary Movement, in conversation with Sanctuary providers Reverends Babs Miller and Jim Rigby, we enjoyed a collective discovery of when the movement began and why and how we must revive it to meet the demands of today.
Our next discussion will focus on how state and federal governments criminalize the caregivers, from single individuals to grassroots organizations to recognized 501(c)3 humanitarian nonprofits.
Guests to be announced shortly.
