| According to a July 2019 U.N. Report we are in the worst refugee crisis in history; an unprecedented 70 million people have been forced to flee from their homes around the world. The majority of people at the Southern border are refugees from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, with some of the highest homicide rates in the world. Our government is currently violating U.S. asylum law and international treatises by not allowing people to claim asylum at a U.S. Port of Entry and have their asylum claims processed in a timely and efficient manner through the “ Remain in Mexico” policy. See video HERE. Pacific and San Gabriel Presbyteries are on the front lines of developing a compassionate, justice-focused response in the Southern California region.We have hired a new Immigrant Accompaniment Organizer, Kristi Van Nostran , in partnership with Presbyterian Disaster Assistance and the Mateo 25 Socal Movement and many ecumenical partners to develop a support network for sponsors to welcome refugee families into our hearts, homes and churches. A shout out to Covenant Presbyterian Church, who is currently hosting a political asylee family from Honduras in their church!! If you are interested in getting involved, we strongly encourage you to come to our education and training event on either August 23rd (weekday) OR August 24th (weekend) Kristi will be speaking at the event! Suggested donation is $25 and includes lunch. Register HERE. |
