Waiting With Purpose: Standing with our Undocumented Neighbors this Advent

Mondays in December, Noon - 1 p.m.
Online

The hallmark of Advent is preparation while waiting. We wait for the incarnation by preparing for its reality, ensuring that when the nativity occurs, we are ready. Similarly, as we await new procedures directed at our undocumented neighbors, we must prepare rather than wait passively.

During Advent, the Council will offer information sessions every Monday at noon to prepare ourselves to stand with our undocumented neighbors, over 360,000 of whom reside in North Carolina. Many of these neighbors live in households with family members who are U.S. citizens or those with legal documents allowing them to stay. How can we prepare to help these families stay together?

This week, the North Carolina General Assembly overrode the Governor’s veto of HB10, a portion of which made it state law for all sheriffs to notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when an undocumented person is detained. What can we do to assist those arrested before ICE intervenes?

Join us during Advent as we wait and prepare. Register now to participate live, or to receive the recordings after the event.
