Discourse is powerful. It brings awareness to injustices that many people still don’t realize are happening. Our current immigration system violates basic principles of justice and reflects a broader pattern of racism, xenophobia, and systemic harm. Having difficult but necessary conversations about this helps keep our communities safer by changing minds and hearts. 

How Does Sharing on Social Media Help? 

Spreading awareness online helps keep these stories in the public eye, inspires action and keeps immigrant families safe. It also helps counter misinformation and reminds the public that these are not isolated incidents.

Prayer is a way to hold space for those who are suffering and to send love across distance. 

[Respective Diety],

We pray for every person facing detention, separation from family, and deep hardship.
We ask that they be wrapped in love across all walls and borders.
We pray for their protection, and strength, especially for children facing inhumane treatment.
May they feel seen and never alone.
We ask that justice comes swiftly, that reunions come soon, and that compassion guides the hand and hearts of those who have the power to create a just immigration process.

Amen.
