Faith in Action: Standing Up Against Harsh Immigration Policies

A Faith That Does Justice hosted a conversation about how people of faith can support refugees in this time of crisis. Our President and Executive Director, Tom Dwyer, was be joined by:
• Jeff Jacoby, the Boston Globe columnist who wrote “A Harsh Immigration Crackdown is a Strange Way to Show Love”
• Marjean Perhot, Vice President of Immigration and Refugee Services at Catholic Charities Boston; and
• Zarlasht, Paralegal for Afghan Cases in the Immigration Legal Services Department at Catholic Charities of Boston, native of Afghanistan

Attendees learned how different faiths approach refugees and left with ideas and inspiration about how to advocate for policies, programs, and a culture that welcomes refugees and immigrants.
