Supporting the Maranatha Indonesian UCC church in person by visiting them on the first Sunday of the month for their English service. No experience necessary. If you get to know someone with an open case you could write a letter of support for them which could help persuade the judge to decide in their favor.
Although membership in the Maranatha Indonesian UCC has rebounded some since the 2011 deportations people with revocable immigration statuses are feeling threatened again. Send letters of encouragement to their congregation at 18 Town Hall Rd Madbury, NH 03823.
Pastor Sandra says, “When you make the choice to call your Members of Congress and Senators, those calls make a difference.” The persistence of a small active group is needed!
The public needs to know about the benefits of welcoming immigrants. You could host an educational event at your church or attend a rally.
The group has recently has organized to provide financial support for immigrants detained in NH. Download the fundraising letter to learn more.

Four-Day “Solidarity Walk for Immigrant Justice” to Begin August 22
New Hampshire faith leaders announced that they plan to trek from Manchester to Dover in a four day “Solidarity Walk for Immigrant Justice” beginning on August 22nd. Father Samuel Fuller, OFM Cap, a Franciscan Friar serving at St. Anne-St. Augustin, Manchester’s most diverse parish, said “Our walk will mirror the trip an immigrant who is detained by I.C.E. takes from the Federal Building to the Strafford County Jail and possible deportation. Sadly, this is a journey several of our parishioners have already made in shackles and in fear.”

2018-09-09 07:30 | Deering Community Church, 763 Deering Center Road, Deering, NH, 03244, United States
From Brooklyn to Boston, from World War II to the present, Jason Sokol traces the modern history of race and politics in the Northeast. Why did white fans come out to support Jackie Robinson as he broke baseball’s color barrier in 1947 even as Brooklyn’s blacks were shunted into segregated neighborhoods? How was African-American politician Ed Brooke of Massachusetts, who won a Senate seat in 1966, undone by the resistance to desegregation busing in Boston? Is the Northeast’s history a microcosm of America as a whole: outwardly democratic, but inwardly conflicted over race?

*Join us as we start new conversations about immigration/refugee resettlement, community, and inclusion.*
