The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Danbury, Conn., has joined the New Sanctuary Movement, a national faith-based campaign seeking to assist families facing deportation while advocating for immigration reform.
“We’ve seen how our current immigration policy has led to many families being torn apart, people unjustly detained and deported,” said Southeast resident Carl Tichler, the congregation’s board president. “We want to publicize the current injustices” and how they affect families, he said.”*
