Know Your Rights, Know Your Opportunities: NYC Faith Communities Against Mass Deportation

January 16 @ 9:00 am - 12:30 pm

Please join the Interfaith Center of New York (ICNY) and Union Theological Seminary on January 16th for a consultation designed to empower NYC’s faith communities with the tools to know their rights and find their voice in the face of mass deportation.

This event will provide education and resources to over 90 diverse houses of worship, spotlight the experiences of West African faith leaders directly impacted by these issues, and build a mental and community map of available resources for deportation-related emergencies. Together, we will send a powerful message to city and federal authorities: faith communities stand in solidarity with and support new New Yorkers.

Registration will open soon. Meanwhile, contact ICNY’s Associate Director for Migrant Outreach Brennan Brink at brennan@interfaithcenter.org with any questions.

We believe in the power of Love. Period.

Through Love, we are each created in God’s image and filled with the Divine Spark. No matter whom we love, no matter how we look, no matter where we are on our journey, God’s imprint is in every person of every race/ethnicity, every gender, and every sexual orientation. We believe God speaks many languages and is calling us on many paths to peace—Shalom. We believe that Love put on flesh—brown, poor, Jewish baby flesh—and came to live among us. We believe God lives among us still; we are the living body of Christ. We are the hands, feet, and heartbeat of God. We believe the Spirit of God calls us to freedom, and we are not free until all of us are free.
