Help Us Protect and Keep Our Immigrant Families Together!

There are so many ways to help immigrant families during these frightening times when they need it the most. Just watching the news about all the new concentration camps and the mass deportations without any due process can be traumatizing for them! The white supremacist Christian nationalists may be trying to take over our government, but as Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Great injustices happen when good people do nothing.”

Immigration and Refugee Rights Report – May 2023

How do we support immigrant and refugee rights? Our members have been involved in providing housing, meals, rides to medical and legal appointments and to English classes, social events and case management support services to three Nicaraguan asylum seekers and three Cuban asylum seekers. We also invited Atty. Aissa Olivarez from the Community Immigration Law Center as a guest speaker to speak to our congregation about her work with asylum seekers on Sunday, October 16, 2022 (listen here), followed by Q&A. Click here for the full report of our activities over the last six months. 

JRUUC is a member of the Dane Sanctuary Coalition, and this report has also been shared with the Wisconsin Network for Peace and Justice.
