Immigration and Sanctuary Group
Immigration and Sanctuary Group (ISG)
The fundamental assurances of due process and equal protection embodied in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights apply to every person, regardless of immigration status. Our UU principles affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person, and our commitment to justice extends across borders and to all people.
ISG aids our immigrant neighbors facing legal and financial challenges by joining with other organizations, such as the Boston Immigrant Justice Accompaniment Network (BIJAN). It acts as a conduit for information regarding passage of state legislation, such as the Safe Communities Act in Massachusetts, as well as federal legislation on immigration. The ISG also seeks programming opportunities to offer insight about the immigration experience to the Follen community.
