Thank you for your interest in supporting the Immigration Court Vigils. Please join us!
Our purpose is to create a sacred space and corridor of community welcome outside ICE immigration courts which have become sites of danger and fear for immigrants accessing due process. We offer interfaith chaplaincy and pastoral care, accompaniment, music, art, connection, and beloved community. We also bear witness and provide connection to rapid response and other supports available.
