Join the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA (NCC) for a webinar, “Rights, Resistance & Resilience: Equipping Faith Communities for Ministry Today” on Friday, February 21, at 11:00 a.m. NCC joins our member denominations to affirm the humanity of all people no matter their background, station in life, or immigration status.
New Executive Orders have caused chaos, anxiety, and fear in people across the United States, making it possible for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to enter “sensitive locations,” such as churches, schools, social service agencies, and hospitals to arrest, detain, and/or deport people.
As leaders in the church, it is imperative that we know the rules and regulations regarding our buildings and congregations. Register now to learn more about the steps you and your community can take to know your rights, confront challenges, and find resilience in the chaos.
Speakers include New York State Attorney General Letitia James, Dr. Robert Chao Romero, author, lawyer, and immigration expert, Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie, NCC president and general secretary, and others!
Please note that this training is not open to members of the media or press, to prosecutors, law enforcement officials, or employees of the Department of Homeland Security.
