Dear Siblings in the Faith,
As a Faith Leader in your community, please read and add your signature to the “Colorado Faith Leader Public Statement Truths About Immigration” (see also email below from Rev. Wayne Laws for more information). It is absolutely clear that our faith communities need to stand together to speak the truth we know from Scripture as it relates to the current campaign of terror and hate against our immigrant friends and neighbors. As a Mission Partnership, the Journey with Migrants team has and is seeing the terror and hate first hand, as well as the courage and bravery of our immigrant friends and neighbors. As The Church, we must stand and speak for Truth.
We encourage you to add your signature! Please do so by April 6th.
With faith in a mighty God,
Molly Brown and Phyllis Clerihue
Journey with Migrants Co-moderators
RESOURCES AND MORE INFORMATION
We would also like to have a faith leader who signs the statement write an op-ed for distribution to the media on why they chose to sign the statement. When you sign the statement there is a place to indicate if you would be open to doing this.
Finally, we urge you and your community members to become involved with the good work of the many organizations in our communities that are actively supporting immigrant lives and rights, including:
