Immigrant Justice
Sowers of Justice is a founding partner in the Interfaith Coalition for Immigrant Justice and provides annual fincial and advisory support to the coalition.
ICIJ is a coalition of individuals, faith leaders and diverse faith communities called by our conscience and by our context to respond actively and publicly to the suffering of immigrants in our community.
Through actions of solidarity and advocacy we use a combination of privilege and personal experience to insist on attitudes and policy that are founded on respect and dignity for immigrants.
Through outreach we educate our community about the injustices inflicted by the enforcement of current immigration policies and we provide real opportunities to take action for change. For more information contact Karl Ruttan, Cory Lockhart, or Carolyn King.
