1) JOIN Our #Faith4DACA Webinar
"
Actions to Support DACA as SCOTUS Prepares Decision"
Tues, Mar. 10th, 4 PM ET/ 1 PM PT
The Supreme Court is expected to make a decision on the future of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) between now and the end of June. Nearly 700,000 DACA recipients are in danger of losing their status and in danger of deportation.
How can faith communities prepare? What can we do NOW and AFTER the decision to help? Disciples "Immigration Response Specialist" and DACA leader Valeria Bejar (above left, in front of SCOTUS last November) will join others on the webinar who will share scenarios and impacts of the SCOTUS decision, and discuss ways our faith communities can prepare to take action both before the decision and following.
2) CALL IN to Support ASYLUM SEEKERS
Tues, Mar. 10th, All Day!
The U.S. asylum system is under attack, with families and children who are seeking protection being blocked at the border and sent back into danger– through policies such as “Remain in Mexico” (or Migration Protection Protocol/MPP), metering, and programs like
PACR and HARP
that fast-track asylum adjudications. Requesting asylum is a protected right within U.S. and international law.
Now is a critical moment for Members of Congress to hear clearly our #Faith4Asylum values, and to share if you want funding for anti-asylum policies to be stopped, and for the U.S. asylum system to be restored
. (Below, see asylum seekers held away from seeking protections in Matamoros, MX.)
