UU FaithAction NJ Recaps – Actions, Alerts, and Information

August 16, 2019 – more details here for Immigration Justice:

• The federal government continues its outrages against immigrants. One news story after another documents actions against immigrant families, refusal to offer visas, increased use of detention and separation of families, and longer terms of uncertain waiting and suffering. Further, we don’t know what’s coming as the election season gets closer and the Administration follows its strategy of making Americans scared and fearful of immigrants.

  What can we do to show our profound opposition to these inhumane policies? Fortunately, there are opportunities to help immigrants in a legal and humane way. UU FaithAction NJ is ready to undertake a new program of action with several specific activities.

  The Immigration Justice Task Force is setting up an Migrant/Detainee Action Committee to help recruit volunteers among UUs in New Jersey congregations and other persons of similar humane and inclusive persuasions. This committee will then to help the larger Task Force coordinate the work of these volunteers.

  There are three main opportunities for direct support

And, of course, the National Election is Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020 (New Jersey presidential primary is June 2, 2020). UUFaithAction does not endorse any particular candidate. However, as Unitarian Universalists, it is both an important civic duty and an expression of our UU values to participate in the electoral process.
