December 9th, 12-1pm
Join UU Mass Action and BIJAN to learn how to participate in online accompaniment for immigrants going through detention and deportations hearings. We will also hear stories from on the ground about the powerful work BIJAN is doing, in effort to learn more about their work, be inspired to support their fundraising efforts personally and on the congregational level.
More about the BIJAN Bond Fund: The BIJAN Bond Fund needs your help NOW so we can keep freeing people from immigration detention. In 2025 alone, BIJAN has contributed over $1 million dollars to support and free immigrants in detention, including paying $965,000 in bonds, freeing 123 people from ICE detention. BIJAN’s funds are dangerously depleted due to ICE’s violence in our state, which has impacted unprecedented numbers of people. Donate here.
Immigrant Justice Tea and Skill-Share from 11:30-12pm
Just before our regular meeting, we will continue our extra 30 minutes of sharing and problem-solving. This is an optional, informal time for more open conversations with each other to support you in building your immigration teams. We also discuss more strategic questions about immigration justice organizing in your congregations. Topics we’ve covered in the past include legal resources, what skills you need to accompany someone to court, getting started, and more! You can RSVP for both times on the regular RSVP form.
