Faithful Thursdays like everyone else during the COVID pandemic, has gone virtual this year. Their focus to advance a moral economy, equity, and the eradication of racism through social witness to our Colorado legislators is well underway. To comply with the need for social distancing, they have been posting weekly videos outlining faith based social witness positions on their website.
You can view these calls for faithful justice effort from their web site click here or directly on their YouTube channel, click here. You’ll find our past moderator, Jean Demmler, providing the March 25th video highlighting issues surrounding equity for refugees and immigration.
We believe threatening a person for their immigration status is racism," explains Nursen Konuk of the Mosaic Multicultural Foundation in this week's Faithful Thursdays video. "If the system injures individuals doing the right thing, then the system is broken. People should feel safe to report a crime without the fear of deportation." Check out this week’s video to learn more about advocating for immigrant rights in our community.
