Immigration
Justice
A human rights issue we care deeply about. we've organized a sustained effort to celebrate the dignity of every immigrant.
We Believe All Souls Are Sacred & Worthy
Because we believe that all souls are sacred and worthy, we work to live our UU principles by shining light on the injustices of our immigration system and taking direct action that can effect positive change. We work to build relationships that will allow us to address the injustices of this system while being led by immigrants in our community.
To increase the effectiveness of our efforts, we formed an Immigration Justice Project and adopted Immigration Justice as a Congregational Project at First Unitarian Society of Denver in 2014.
