Wake Interfaith Immigration Network
Welcome
More than 60 churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, and other faith communities across Wake County have come together around a simple conviction: our immigrant and refugee neighbors deserve welcome, dignity, and fair treatment. As people of faith, we feel called to respond — not just with words, but with presence and action. We invite you to join us.

October 11: A Stand for Dignity
Gather with us in downtown Raleigh on October 11, from 2:00-4:00 pm for A Stand for Dignity. This event is not a protest; it is a community gathering for public witness. Together, we will proclaim a vision of unity over division, affirming the basic human decency and due process that every person deserves, and call for the changes we know are needed in the way our nation treats immigrant neighbors.
The program will feature interfaith prayer and song, along with speakers sharing perspectives on the immigrant experience and the call of faith. You will leave with a range of concrete actions you can take – as individuals and as faith communities – to support our immigrant neighbors and work toward lasting change. Get full details.
