Essential workers, many of whom are also immigrants, have faced the most significant risks amid the pandemic. Yet over the past year, they have continued to provide our communities with basic goods and critical services we need to make it through this challenging time.

Here are resources to take action including action alerts to email or call your Members of Congress, sample social media, talking points, a guide to set up virtual meetings with Congress, sample op-eds, prayers, and much more! Join us to take action this congressional recess for citizenship, asylum, detention, and refugee admissions.
Use these tools and resources to advocate with the Biden administration and Congress for the repeal of Trump-era anti-asylum policies; strengthening the asylum system to put human dignity at its core; healing families, souls, and communities; and transforming U.S. asylum laws to protect human dignity in all forms.
There is a lot of news right now about asylum seekers, especially children, who are at the U.S./Mexico border. But this situation did not come about overnight; it has been building for years, exasperated by cruel and inhumane policies and an outdated immigration system that denies our shared humanity. In this moment, it is critical for people of faith and conscience to build awareness, work and pray for justice, and take action in solidarity with children and families seeking asylum.
The first 100 days of the Biden Administration is a critical time for faith communities to take action alongside immigrants’ rights organizations and immigrant leaders. In the coming weeks, there will be an opportunity to push for legislative and administrative reforms that create relief from deportation, move towards citizenship for all, and rebuild the refugee and asylum programs.
