Abbie’s Corner
 
From Abbie:
 
On June 19, 2018, Abbie Arevalo-Herrera made the decision to take Sanctuary at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Richmond with two of her children to fight her order of deportation. In order to remain protected from that deportation, Abbie cannot leave the church’s premises. She wants to thank both the Richmond community that have been supporting her all this time and the First UU congregation that have opened the doors of their church and their hearts to her and her family.
