Show your support for immigrant families in these uncertain times

Dear friend,

Our country, our cities, and our lives have been brought to a halt these past few months, but the Trump administration and the U.S. Supreme Court have not slowed down.

Just a few days ago, President Trump halted all immigration to the United States in an attempt to blame and dehumanize immigrant families by labeling them as the “other”—an attempt we must reject. And any day now our highest court is set to announce its decision on the Trump administration’s efforts to terminate the DACA program, under which almost 700,000 people who migrated to the U.S. as children were able to receive work permits and protection from deportation.

As people of faith, our call to advocate with and for immigrants and refugees has not diminished in the time of the new coronavirus—and neither has the urgent need to respond to injustices. We must remain vigilant and act quickly.

We are living and working in uncertain times, but we must continue our work for the long haul – and we need you with us. Will you join us?

Our undocumented siblings are modeling how we will get through this pandemic—by prioritizing our community, remaining flexible, and doing whatever it takes to best care for one another. Nearly 30,000 DACA recipients are  health care workers fighting the coronavirus pandemic. More than 200,000  DACA beneficiaries are essential workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis. And we at Sojourners are trying to follow their model and encourage others to do the same.

Our work—including our support for DACA—will only continue in the time of the new coronavirus if we have the strength, support, and solidarity of our Sojourners community. As we shift our work online to protect ourselves and the most vulnerable from the virus, we must remain nimble in order to provide our rapid response work where it is most needed.

We need a reliable source of monthly support—and members of our Sustainers Circle are our most dependable source of funding each month.

Now more than ever, the monthly supporters of our Sustainers Circle are critically important. Help us remain flexible in these times and join today.

In peace,

Paola Fuentes Gleghorn
Immigration and Women and Girls Campaign Coordinator, Sojourners
