Take this opportunity to publicly commit to defending the dignity of all image bearers, encouraging and joining with others from your church and community in welcoming immigrants, and advocating for reform to our broken immigration system.
Sign the pledge: Commitment to My Immigrant Neighbor
By signing this pledge, you are making a public commitment to show God’s love and hospitality to immigrants. Every voice that signs is an important word of encouragement to our immigrant neighbors and a valuable demonstration of the desire for a U.S. immigration system that is more just.
Take it to the Streets
