What This Is About
Families belong together. That's not just our belief—it's our faith. It's our values. It's who we are.
But right now, California taxpayer dollars are being used to fund companies that profit from separating families. Companies connected to immigration detention, deportation, and family separation are getting California subsidies, grants, loans, and tax credits—our money.
On August 24th, we're gathering our community—people of faith, people who care about dignity and justice—to say clearly: we invest in families, not in companies that tear them apart.
We need you there.
