In March 2019, a delegation of nearly 75 faith leaders and immigrant justice advocates traveled to Honduras to meet with grassroots organizations and local leaders working and advocating for the rights of urban communities, farmers, and families. The delegation explored root causes of migration, including the role of the United States.

Join Calvary Presbyterian Church, Congregation Sherith Israel, and Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity on June 6th at 6pm in San Francisco! A panel of delegates will share stories of resistance and root causes from Honduran community partners in their defense of land and life, and discuss how we can support their resistance.

Light refreshments will be provided. RSVP and share our event:
