Responding to the migrant bus emergency

Migrants to our southern border are being bused (and in some cases, flown) to sanctuary cities and other locations.  To learn more about this ongoing humanitarian crisis, including ways that you and your congregation can respond, access these UCC resources:

  • Read this September 15, 2022 UCC press release for an excellent description of the crisis and some responses to it.
  • Download the UCC Team Global HOPE’s Migrant bus toolkit and take action on its suggestions!
  • Noel Andersen of the UCC National Collaborative on Immigration shared this on October 4, 2022: As the UCC, we are walking in solidarity by accompanying asylum seekers and advocating for a robust humane reception system, joining partner non-profit and mutual aid organizations in key regions who are greeting immigrants and asylum seekers. Contact your elected leaders to urge their support for welcoming people seeking protection and safety.
