Gather with us as we deepen relationships, learn and collaborate with other IMIrJ communities of faith and our NE Portland K-team partners (St. Andrews Catholic, Bethel Lutheran) to address the issues of justice around immigration in our communities. All are welcome!
Leaven Community member John Rodgers (B-3rd right) and co-director LaVeta Gilmore Jones (B-center) were present with IMIrJ leaders Ron Werner (Back-L) and Sarah Loose (F-center) at a press conference for five asylum-seeking men who were released from the Federal Correctional Institute in Sheridan, OR. Being with these men only strengthened our resolve to keep pushing with others for the decriminalization of migration and an end to immigrant detention.
