Welcome to the new website!

Over the summer of 2007, organizations and individuals in Champaign-Urbana came together to participate in the New Sanctuary Movement. We are united in opposing the current series of raids and ensuing deportations across the country, and we agree to call for an end to these practices as they separate children from their families until our broken immigration system is fixed.

Our goals are:
• To protect immigrant workers and their families from unjust deportation
• To change the public debate
• To awaken the moral imagination of our community
• To make visible immigrant workers and families as children of God

The New Sanctuary Movement in Champaign-Urbana is part of the national coalition.
