Wake Interfaith Immigration Network

An Invitation to Faith Communities in Wake County

You are invited to join an initial organizing meeting of faith communities and their members in Wake County committed to standing with our immigrant neighbors and addressing concerning practices by immigration enforcement authorities.

When: Thursday February 26, 12:00-1:00pm by Zoom

Recent actions by immigration authorities have raised serious concerns about due process, family separation, and human dignity.  As people of faith called to welcome the stranger and defend the vulnerable, this moment demands our moral witness and coordinated response.

This gathering will begin forming an informal network of faith communities—clergy and laypeople alike—who wish to respond together while respecting each congregation’s autonomy.

At this gathering, we will:

• Share actions our congregations have taken to support our immigrant neighbors
• Discuss concrete ways to provide support and advocacy
• Build relationships for sustained action
• Plan next steps for collective witness

Whether you or your faith community has been directly affected or you simply feel called to respond, your presence and voice are needed. Click below to register for the meeting and receive the Zoom link.
