SFIC ONLINE BRIEFING FOR COMMUNITY AND FAITH PARTNERS

HOW CONGREGATIONS CAN SUPPORT
NEWLY ARRIVED ASYLUM SEEKERS IN SAN FRANCISCO

March 2, 2023

Earlier today, the San Francisco Interfaith Council (SFIC) hosted its 94th Online Briefing for Community and Faith Partners. Today's briefing welcomed Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity's Nueva Esperanza Accompaniment Team (NEAT) Program Manager Kelly Younger, who offered an overview of her organization's important work, the danger of exploiting unknowing immigrants for political gain, and practical ways in which San Francisco congregations can support newly arrived asylum seekers.

The briefing may be viewed in its entirety below:
Also participating were Zoom Briefing Moderator/SFIC Executive Director Michael Pappas, Congregation Sha'ar Zahav Rabbi Mychal Copeland, San Francisco Office of Civic Engagement and Immigrant Affairs (OCEIA) Deputy Director Richard Whipple and Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity (NEAT) Program Coordinator Nadia Tavera Medina. Special appreciation is extended to SFIC Program/Administrative Associate Cynthia Zamboukos and Enceladus Event Production and Consulting principal Tre Russell Allen.

Please join us on Thursday, March 9, 2023, at 8:30 am, when former SF City Attorney/SF Supervisor Louise Renne will present on the history, mission, services and current challenges facing Laguna Honda Hospital and Rehabilitation Center.

A special thanks…
