Strangers No Longer

Education

We educate in parishes, congregations and schools about the history of U.S. immigration policy, the effect it is having on real people, and what the Church teaches us about our call to respond. Building strong relationships is the best way to educate and inspire. We encourage you to start a Circle of Support or to schedule a presentation by a Missionary of Hope (an immigrant speaker) at your parish, school, or organization; it is a meaningful step toward fostering understanding and growth.

Direct Support/Accompaniment

We work with families directly in many ways such as accompanying immigrant families to court, providing transportation, translation, and emergency financial support.

Advocacy

We advocate for policies and practices that better uphold the human dignity of immigrants. We do this by meeting with officials at local, state, and national levels.

If you want to advocate for your immigrant neighbors locally, we invite you to connect with your local police authorities. Join Strangers No Longer’s statewide Local for Local campaign, where we demand that our local police prioritize the public safety of all local residents, regardless of immigration status.
