Immigrant Rights
Immigrant Support Team
The IBBMD Immigration Team works to bring safety, justice, and equality to our immigrant neighbors and communities. We partner with immigrant-led organizations such as CASA to support and advance their policies and actions. Alongside partners including the ACLU, National Immigrant Law Center, and CASA, we advocate at all levels of government for pro-immigrant policies. We provide mutual aid, comfort, and support to immigrant neighbors as directed by our partner organizations and through the warmness of love for our neighbors. We invite you to be a part of this sacred work.
