Today’s Urgent Call to Stand With Our Immigrant Neighbors

We are living in a time of deep crisis for immigrants in our community and across the United States. What does that have to do with us?   Mary Anne Perrone, of Washtenaw Congregational Sanctuary (WCS), will give a presentation and facilitate discussion about justice for immigrants among us from a human rights and faith perspective.  She will share some of what is happening to immigrants locally and nationally and inform us of what people are doing locally to accompany and advocate for and with them.

Mary Anne is an educator, an activist and a spiritual guide.  All of her adult life she has been an activist for peace and justice. Her particular area of focus for over 30 years has been on human rights in Latin America: working in the U.S. ever since to raise consciousness about our country’s role in human rights violations in Latin America and to work for substantive change in our foreign policy.  Locally she has been part of the Latin  America Task Force of Interfaith Council for Peace & Justice (ICPJ) for decades.
