Episcopal Church Foundation Vestry Papers - for leading congregations

Freedom for Immigrants is an immigrant-led, abolitionist organization committed to ending immigration incarceration. They organize alongside leaders directly impacted by immigration detention, their families, and communities across the country to advance our liberatory vision of abolition. Their work is guided by the wisdom of those who have experienced detention firsthand. They believe these leaders are the heart of our movement and the true experts in our fight for collective liberation.
