[Rev. Joan Javier-Duval]

Dear friends,

I was recently connected to Movimiento Cosecha

a new movement fighting for permanent protection, dignity, and respect for
undocumented immigrants. The movement is coordinating a campaign,
#SanctuaryCongregation to grow the sanctuary movement to provide protection
and spaces of resistance for the community.

*This Friday at 1 pm ET, Cosecha is organizing a general call for members
of faith to plug into the ongoing campaign work around establishing places
of resistance and protection for the immigrant community. Click here to
register for the call.*

In 2007, an initiative known as the New Sanctuary Movement took shape with
coalitions of congregations in major cities throughout the country. As
workplace and neighborhood raids escalated, these congregations opened
their doors to provide refuge to those facing deportation.

Now, the Sanctuary Movement is playing a critical role again in responding
to the post-election reality wherein fear, discrimination and xenophobia
have taken a new precedence in our country's’ politics. Since the Trump
administration has promised to deport millions, people of faith have a
moral responsibility to act. Sanctuary is a tool that helps escalate these
efforts by offering our neighbors who face a deportation order safe refuge
and sanctuary in our congregations.

As people of faith we need to stand with some of the most vulnerable people
in our country under a Trump administration - undocumented immigrants.
