SOLIDARITY IN ACTION: UNDERSTANDING THE CENTRAL AMERICAN REFUGEE CRISIS

Solidarity in Action: Understanding the Central American Refugee Crisis

The United States has long been the main destination for Central American migrants people seeking asylum, but in recent years, the rights of migrants and refugees have been questioned in an increasingly divisive political context. How do we talk about migration, refugees, and asylum seekers? Who defends and promotes their rights?

Join Solidarity in Action, an online workshop organized by The Church of the Good Shepherd, Acton and facilitated by Cristosal Global School to learn about the international and U.S. laws regarding refugees and asylum seekers. With a focus on the Central American refugee crisis.

Join us for an exciting opportunity to learn more about the rules that guide immigration for refugees and asylum seekers and to reflect upon our response as Christians in an interactive online workshop led by Cristosal experts Jeanne Rikkers, Elizabeth Hawkins, and Diego Jones.

When: December 5 and 12 7:00 – 9:00pm.

Registration is free and limited. It will be open exclusively to CGS through this Wednesday November 25. Then it will open to the diocese and neighboring faith communities.
