immigration reform


Join a diverse gathering of regional and national faith leaders and key congressional leaders for one of the most important interfaith gatherings for immigration reform in the nation. Add your voice to the chorus calling forSenator Charles Schumer (D-NY), to draft and submit just and humane immigration reform legislation now!

Co-founded by American Jewish Committee, The Interfaith Center of New York, The New York Immigration Coalition, the Presbytery of New York City, NY Faith & Justice, and UJA/Federation, the Network is a collaboration of diverse New York faith community leaders and organizations that have come together at this critical time in our nation's history to express our shared commitment to welcoming and honoring the "strangers among us" and our belief that the inhumanity and injustice of our current system require Congress and the Obama Administration to act now to enact reform.

Your presence will make all the difference. Please don't pass up this opportunity to love "the strangers" in our midst through the ministry of presence. We hope you will be able to join us!
