About The Event
On Sunday, June 28th at 5 pm ET, we will gather in Washington, D.C., with the Latino Christian National Network for a service of Lament and Hope that celebrates the contributions of immigrants to our country.
As we near America’s 250th anniversary, we face a choice: celebrate our highest ideals while ignoring the pain and contradictions in our history, or tell the truth about both. As followers of Jesus, we are called to help move our nation toward greater hospitality, dignity, and belonging.
The prophet Isaiah calls us to “lift up our voice like a trumpet” (Isaiah 58:1). As immigration raids and anti-immigrant policies create fear and uncertainty in communities across the country, people of faith are called to speak with courage and compassion.
When families are separated and neighbors live in fear, entire communities suffer. This is a moment to redefine what it means to be American and lift up our common values of family unity, human dignity, belonging, and the well-being of all.
