Immigration Justice

The Immigration Justice Task Force is associated with other local groups that advocate for immigration justice, such as Together Colorado, Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition (CIRC), and the Boulder Area Sanctuary and Immigration Coalition (BASIC). We are called on to participate in actions which support our immigrant neighbors.

Some of these actions include:

• attending vigils with other community and religious groups when immigrants appear in court or at ICE offices;
• contacting legislators to advocate for laws that advance immigrants’ safety and rights through emails, letter writing, attending legislative committee meetings and/or press conferences;
• providing educational forums for both immigrants and their allies;
• and volunteering to document ICE raids and support those affected by such raids.

The Fellowship is a member of CIRC, so congregants may attend north region meetings and the state assembly, and vote on state legislative priorities for the organization. 

Many congregants volunteered to help support the family who was in sanctuary at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder up until recently. Some members have participated in vigils at the Aurora Detention Center and other live actions in the Boulder and Denver areas. 

The task force hopes to soon resume in-person information and discussion sessions at the Fellowship.

Contact Bob Norris for further information and opportunities to participate.
