A Conversation on the Current Sanctuary Movement
January 21, 2018 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Free
An event to educate and raise awareness of the Sanctuary Movement nationally and within Virginia.
This event will include an online speaker, Edith Espinal, who is currently in sanctuary in Columbus, OH, as well as others there who are involved. The format will be a panel of speakers who will address some of the following topics and include a time for questions:
*Testimony from families in sanctuary about what it means to enter sanctuary and how does it impact the families and their communities.
*Sanctuary as a form of resistance
*What does it mean to be a sanctuary people, sanctuary community, and a sanctuary movement?
*How can sanctuary influence the national conversation around immigration – including the fight for DACA, TPS, and the DREAM Act, and offer hope in a challenging time?
*How can communities and individuals outside faith communities participate?
