Immigration & Refugee Panel

“Build a wall.” “Register Muslims.” “Deport criminals.” “Refuse more refugees.”

These are the headlines that have dominated recent public discourse. But for immigrants and refugees residing in the U.S., these issues are just the most recent developments in a long struggle to live freely in a nation that has yet to provide liberty and justice for all.

As part of First Universalist’s Sanctuary and Resistance movement, we invite you to listen and learn from some of our immigrant and refugee neighbors as they discuss their lived realities in our community and in our country.

First Universalist Church will vote on a resolution to become a full sanctuary church on Sunday, Feb. 19 at the mid-year State of the Church meeting. Please consider attending one of these presentations to understand the full impact of sanctuary for those who may be directly affected by the current administration’s immigration and refugee policies.
