The Immigrant Justice Action Group is sponsoring a webinar at church: “Changing Systems, Changing Ourselves”, a collaboration of the American Friends Service Committee’s Friends Relations office, the UUA and UUSC’s Love Resists campaign, Church World Service, and Freedom for Immigrants. This is a five part program beginning Jan. 28, meeting monthly, 5–6:30 pm, First Unitarian Church. Many of us participated in the first series of programs with great appreciation for the learning and growth opportunities. Please join our team by registering through the link below and indicate that you are joining the group named Immigrant Justice Action Group.
From Love Resists:
“Without community, there is no liberation.” —Audre Lorde
Do you want to join people of faith and conscience from across the U.S. in taking action and practicing reflection? Are you seeking ways to offer grounded solidarity without reproducing oppressive practices? Have you ever gone to an immigration (ICE) check-in or court to support a person at risk of deportation? Is your congregation part of the New Sanctuary Movement, or talking about joining?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, join our e-course, “Changing Systems, Changing Ourselves”: Anti-Racist Practice for Sanctuary, Accompaniment, and Resistance. This free interactive e-course will meet monthly and support groups in learning, reflecting, and acting for social change. You are welcome to join as an individual, but particularly encouraged to register as a group with a team of people working together on these issues.
This free interactive e-course will meet monthly and support groups in learning, reflecting, and acting for social change. Topics will include anti-blackness and immigrant justice, criminalization and the place of immigration detention in the prison industrial complex, and on-the-ground case studies of accompaniment as anti-racist practice. There will also be caucus spaces for white participants and participants of color. The videos and homework assignments from the first program are also available online for self-study.
