Join the campaign to end child separation at the border.

|
This group, started by members and friends of McFarland United Church of Christ in McFarland, WI, is open to people of all faiths, spiritual perspectives and worldviews who are committed to compassion, justice, kindness and love. Our government has separated hundreds of immigrant children from their parents upon arriving at the border. These families are often fleeing horrific violence and crippling poverty, and parents are doing everything they can to protect their children by coming to the United States. Taking these children from their parents is inhumane, unnecessary, and unacceptable. It is easy to feel powerless when confronting an issue like this. We feel strongly about giving a voice to those who agree with us. We demand that all children must be reunited with their families and sponsors, and that the current practice of separation and detaining immigrant children and immigrants of all ages must end immediately. This will no longer be done in our name! Not In Our Name!!
Here is how you can get involved and be a vital part of this campaign: |
Upcoming Event: "Stories from the Border"
A Zoom Event - Thursday, June 25 - 6:30 PM
Are Children Still in cages at the U.S. Borders?
It’s a disturbing question, isn’t it?
And the simple answer to the question is “yes, they are.”
Proverbs 31:8-9 calls us to be a “voice for the voiceless,” and to “speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.”
The “Not In Our Name” campaign and the UCC Wisconsin Conference Immigration Working Group are thrilled to announce that immigration activist and attorney Linda Zuba, just back from working with immigrants at the border, and Border Justice Activist, Randy Mayer, pastor of The Good Shepherd UCC in Sahuarita AZ, will share their first-hand accounts of what is actually happening right now on both sides of the US/Mexico Border. They will also share what we can attempt to do to help right now. Please join us for “Stories From the Border,” Thurs, June 25, at 6:30 p.m.

Bracelets & T-Shirts

The rest of bracelet and t-shirt sales support organizations currently monitoring human rights conditions at detention centers or doing work to locate and reunite families. We are currently committed to funding: Border Network for Human Rights and Matthew 25: Ministries.
