Thank you for joining the #SanctuaryRising national week of action. Over 700 congregations across the country are taking a bold and prophetic stand to accompany and protect people and communities targeted by discrimination and deportation through the Sanctuary Movement.

Join an Event
Throughout the week of action, faith leaders, immigrants, families and allies will hold press conferences and vigils declaring themselves as safe spaces for immigrants, refugees and other vulnerable communities. A dozen events are planned in major cities like Los Angeles, Denver, Portland, Tucson, the Bay Area, Philadelphia and more, as faith communities unite to stand against the Trump administration’s plans for increased deportations, criminalization and hate.
