Love Resists Campaign
Shut Down America’s Child Detention Center
The Homestead Child Detention Center in Florida is the country’s only for-profit child detention center. Putting children into prison camps is monstrous. This follows a pattern of further criminalizing Black and Brown bodies across the United States and our silence means complicity.
Download resources and tools to bring the Love Resists campaign to your community by expanding sanctuary, growing solidarity and raising your voice.
Expanded Sanctuary and Community Protection
We must provide Safe spaces for those under threat. people of faith and conscience are expanding what it means to offer "sanctuary" to include not only physical sanctuary, but also sanctuary policies, sanctuary campuses, and sanctuary community support networks.
Accompaniment
Accompaniment of individuals and families facing ICE and courts centers people's dignity and choices in a system that takes away dignity and choice. We fight for one another as we would for family or friends because we are family and friends.
End Money Bail
On any given night, more than 450,000 people who have not been convicted of any crime are locked up in jail simply because they don't have enough money to pay bail. Universalism means no one is disposable and interdependence means that none of us are truly free as long as people are in jail.
