This provides moral support to the person facing deportation and enables volunteers to hold immigration authorities accountable. Standing in solidarity with migrants facing deportation also demonstrates to immigration judges\, ICE officers\, and government attorneys that there is a community mobilized against their deportation. \nThe Immigration Accompaniment Program helps support families who are going through the immigration process in 3 ways: \n\nPROVIDES A SUPPORT STRUCTURE to strengthen those caught in immigration proceedings\n\n\nKEEPS FAMILY MEMBERS INFORMED at every step of the process as their loved ones move forward\n\n\nHOLDS LEGAL OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE for providing accurate information and serving due process\n\nIt is a concrete way to extend sanctuary for the most vulnerable among us. Sanctuary is not a physical entity but the spaces wherein all of us can breathe freely and in dignity. \nWe are building a movement that cares and protects the other\, not matter where they are from or who they are. \nHow does it work?   \nTraining consists of grounding the immigration system’s present moment in its historical and political context\, framing our work through NSC’s founding principles\, delving into the specifics of what our accompaniment work accomplishes\, and outlining strategies for allyship in light of current threats to migrant communities. \nOnce you’re trained you become part of the accompaniment program. You’ll learn about upcoming accompaniments and can sign up for time slots and locations that work for you. You’ll also leave with resources\, information and thought partnership for building a stronger network of allies in your community. \n\nYou must pre-register here.

We first brought the plight of Maria to your attention on May 28 when we organized a rally in Newark for her benefit.  Maria has been required to report to ICE every month\, since late last year\, and she brings her children everytime. \nThe walk begins at 8:30 am on September 30 outside of the federal building located at 970 Broad Street\, Newark\, NJ. \nWe urge anyone who is able to show up and demonstrate the community’s backing of Maria and to accompany her to her ICE check-in. Bring people from your congregation and other friends. It is extremely important that ICE understands that many people in this state support immigrants like Maria and hold ICE accountable for treating them fairly. \nWe are also looking for someone willing to be the point person for this Jericho Walk\, who will coordinate UUs and friends interested in going that morning and write something for an action alert. Anyone who is willing to do this\, contact the FaithAction office\, (908) 376-6535 or admin@uufaithaction.org.  We hope to have a strong sea of UU supporters!

Jorge came to the US as a 13 year old from Guatemala\, making the dangerous journey to follow his parents. He was granted DACA status by the previous administration and has no criminal record. He has a US citizen wife\, a 2 year old and 10 month old child he has never visited outside of detention center visits. \nOur goal is to create a media event\, humanizing it with the story of one man and his family and dramatizing the ongoing plight of many like them here in NJ and across the US. We will unfurl a large banner made up of some of the 2500+ petitions and some of us will sit in on the hearing to show our support to the judge and staff for Jorge’s case. \nPlease let me know if you are able to join me and fellow UUs and lay activists for all or part of that Friday afternoon. We could use extra helpers\, marshals\, social media/smart camera operators\, etc. Please reach out to our office to volunteer www.uufaithaction.org. A crowd helps! Invite all and sundry\, and expect more communications including a press release over the next several days. \nAnd thanks. We amplify each others voices and those whose voices are suppressed or lost in the shuffle. I appreciate your ongoing support for UU FaithAction NJ.
