SUMMARY:Vote for Love for Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:The Urgency of Immigration Advocacy:  Communities\, Prisons\, Borders and the Body of Christ\nCo-sponsor: Nootbaar Institute on Law\, Religion and Ethics\, Pepperdine Caruso School of Law \nExpert guests will explore the multifaceted nature of our country’s immigration crisis – both how it is deeply rooted in local communities at the border\, and how these local injustices fit into a broken\, inhumane national immigration system urgently needing reform in a world where 120 million people have been forcibly displaced. \nSpeakers will challenge attendees to consider how the church can more meaningfully respond to the Gospel’s clarion call to welcome the stranger. The speakers will also highlight the urgent need to care for immigrants within the prison system\, many of whom are unjustly detained and face compounded trauma. \nAs fellow Christians\, the advocates will call on the church to step into these spaces\, offering both practical support and a prophetic witness that reflects the radical hospitality of the Gospel. Participants will be asked to grapple with how race\, class\, and systems of oppression intersect with the immigration crisis. This panel will challenge the church to reimagine its role in standing with the stranger\, the prisoner\, and the most marginalized in our society. \nModerator:\nJennifer Lee Koh\, Associate Professor of Law & Co-Director of the Nootbaar Institute on Law\, Religion and Ethics\, Pepperdine Caruso School of Law\nPanelists: \n\n\n\n\nGuerline Jozef\, Co-Founder & Executive Director\, Haitian Bridge Alliance\n\n\nTin Nguyen\, Program Director\, Decarcerate Orange County\n\n\nKimberly Serrano – director for the Center of Inclusion and Belonging at the American Immigration Council\n\n\n\n\n*** These events are free and open to the public with an optional donation. If you can chip in\, every dollar helps Red Letter Christians continue to push our faith closer to one that looks like Jesus. Thank you for investing in this work! \nREGISTER NOW\n \nThis event is one of a series of four virtual Red Letter Revivals.\nLearn more about the event series below. \nIt’s revival time.\nOn the four nights before the presidential election on November 5th\, Red Letter Christians is hosting our final Red Letter Revival of this year to create a space for Christians who want to see love and justice at the center of our policies. Instead of solely condemning the way our faith is being manipulated for political gain this election season\, we’re “practicing something better\,” as our friend Richard Rohr says.  There’s that old saying “Be the change you want to see in the world”… and we’re committed to being the change we want to see in the Church.  And we need YOU.  \nOne of the promises of Scripture is this – “perfect love casteth out fear.”  We are standing on that promise\, and raising the questions – \nWhat would our country look like if love rather than fear was shaping our policies? \nWhat does it look like to love our neighbor as ourselves?  \nWhat does that mean on immigration? Guns? Militarism? Poverty? Criminal justice? And more? \nWhat does love look like in public? \nHow does loving my neighbor shape the way I think about policies that affect their lives? \nTogether\, we’ll challenge the way Christianity is often distorted and co-opted for political agendas that do not center Jesus and the needs of the poor and vulnerable\, those Christ called “the least of these.”   \nMark your calendar for these powerful\, life-giving events taking place on November 1st\, 2nd\, 3rd\, and 4th\, starting at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT.  We’ll be broadcasting LIVE on all our platforms\, and you won’t want to miss it!
