"Now What?" A PC(USA) Town Hall on protecting immigrant and refugee rights near and far
2024-12-11 17:30 - 19:00
There are many questions that come rushing in the wake of the election. How are Presbyterians going to respond to these threats to our community? What resources are out there? What is the future of sanctuary? What is the future of refugee resettlement and other temporary protections? How are the Presbyterian Church denomination offices going to respond?
This zoom gathering is designed to help concerned Presbyterians discern what we can do now to prepare for the new Administration’s anti-immigrant policies. We will share how the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) denominational offices are gearing up and what resources are already available. This is also a time to share your particular concerns so that our offices can support you and your congregations in the year ahead as we seek to be faithful in the midst of potentially devastating actions for our families, our churches and our communities.
