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

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.
