Refugees & Immigration (migrant workers, internally displaced peoples)

Interfaith Coalition for Immigrant Rights: responding to growing anti-immigrant sentiment in California, members of immigrant and religious communities founded ICIR in 1994. Since the passage of State Proposition 187, ICIR has grown into a network of 1000-plus congregations, denominations, organizations, lay and religious leaders. It continues challenging policies, legislation, and attitudes that attack newcomers by giving life to our shared faith traditions and promoting hospitality to the "stranger in our midst": www.igc.org/icir/index2.html

Rural & Migrant Ministry: an interfaith organization that works to overcome the prejudices and poverty that degrade and debilitate all members of our society by building communities that celebrate diversity, achieve true mutuality, and offer dignity and opportunity to all. RMM supports greater self-determination for farm workers and the rural poor: www.ruralmigrantministry.org
