Immigration Matters: A Call to Action!

Have you been looking for a way to learn about and get involved in supporting our immigrant neighbors? Never has it been more important than right now. Join us on Sunday, March 2 at noon (lunch will be provided) for a forum that will provide updates on current legislation, hear directly from some of our church-sponsored families, and find out ways you can get involved and make a difference. This special event, brought to you by the Social Action Committee, will feature Aimee Mitchell, MSW, LiCSW, founder of Places to Thrive, a non-profit that helps those experiencing displacement, and The Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network (BIJAN) along with other community speakers. Personal stories of resilience and an enlightening conversation with our community will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to take action together.

Following this event, several church members are planning to attend a 3:00 pm Suitcase Stories show at the Somerville Theater, which features foreign and US-born residents sharing powerful and inspiring stories of refugee and immigrant life. Suitcase Stories has appeared on PBS and the World Channel and is presented in collaboration with the International Institute of New England (IINE) and the Steller Story Company. Tickets are $28 each and can be purchased at somervilletheater.com. If you would like more information, please contact: socialaction@uubelmont.org
