Interfaith Call on Detentions: Promoting Community and Dignity

As immigration enforcement escalates, families are being separated, and communities are living in fear. Immigrant deaths in detention centers have reached record levels, and many detained people are cut off from the legal, family, and pastoral support they need.

But across the country, communities of faith are putting faith into action: building relationships before detention strikes, responding to urgent needs during detention, and speaking out for dignity and reform.

Join the Interfaith Immigration Coalition (IIC) on Thursday, August 13 at 7:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM CT for a community call led by faith leaders working on the ground to stop mass deportations and the expansion of detention centers. Spanish interpretation will be provided.

You'll leave with:

  • Concrete tools to respond to a detention crisis in your own community

  • New connections with others organizing in your region

  • One advocacy action you can commit to right away

Catch Up

Our faith calls us to action in these critical moments. Persons of faith can add their name to the national Faith Leader Sign-On Letter by August 7. Congregations, faith-based organizations, and groups can add their name to the Faith Organization Sign-On Letter by the same date.

Check out the IIC Action Toolkit for resources on holding a vigil, signing the nationwide faith letter, and contacting your representatives — and tell us about your event or vigil so the IIC can help spotlight and amplify it!

Resources shared in this newsletter reflect a diversity of policy perspectives and do not imply the endorsement of all IIC member organizations.
