In this skills workshop, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service’s Access to Justice department will walk participants through America’s vast immigration detention system and offer skills and opportunities to take action. They will give background on both the migrant adult detention system and the recently revived and inhumane practice of family detention. After providing context for these practices, presenters will offer concrete opportunities to get involved, including LIRS’s detention visitation ministry program.
Speakers:
Liz Sweet, Episcopalian Service Corps Program Fellow for Access to Justice
