Duration
12 months
Description
Faith communities are playing a critically important role in educating and engaging the public on immigration issues, across the political spectrum. Most faith leaders and congregations are rejecting anti-immigrant rhetoric and promoting positions that protect and support immigrants, refugees, and Muslim communities. Sojourners is a national, nonpartisan Christian organization using strategic communications to promote balanced and nuanced national narratives on immigrants and immigration policies. Sojourners supports the advocacy and communications capacity of faith-based organizations, to lift up immigrant voices and to shed light on the many benefits of humane immigration reform. With Corporation support, Sojourners will work with faith leaders across the country on a public education campaign to bridge divisive political debates around immigration, including those on undocumented youth and the legal immigration system.

Description
For many Americans, the problems created by the current immigration system contradict their values and beliefs and present a moral imperative to fix the immigration system. Given the strong influence religion has on shaping the values of many Americans, faith coalitions can play an important role in educating the public about the moral and practical failures of current immigration policy and the need for federal immigration reform. Established in 1971, Sojourners is a national, nonpartisan Christian organization committed to engaging the faith community in support of social justice issues. Sojourners builds alliances among, and mobilizes people of faith, focusing on racial and social justice issues, among others. With Corporation support, Sojourners will engage and amplify the voice of the Christian community—especially evangelicals—in support of immigrant integration.
