Join the ‘Welcome with Dignity’ Campaign
From Interfaith Immigration Coalition (IIC) and Church World Service (CWS). You're invited to join dozens of organizations and advocates in a renewed commitment to build a reimagined asylum system in the U.S. as part of the new Welcome with Dignity Campaign. We invite you to take action with us to transform the way the United States receives and protects people forced to flee from their homes and seek safety. Now is the time for visionary action to restore and strengthen asylum protections and policies that welcome asylum seekers and unaccompanied children.
For more information about the campaign and for more resources, visit this toolkit and this web page.
