Justice for Immigrants in the Archdiocese of Atlanta

Justice for Immigrants (JFI) is a national campaign of the U.S. Bishops which is active in local dioceses and supported by the resources and legislative updates on the national website: www.justiceforimmigrants.org. The campaign stands on Scripture and Catholic Social Teaching to encourage prayer, promote facts about immigration, dispel myths and advocate for comprehensive federal immigration reform that protects all workers, reunites families, supports national security, and creates an earned path to citizenship.

Activities in the archdiocese include parish and archdiocesan workshops and legislative advocacy and collaborative efforts on the state and federal level. Legislative outreach includes e-mail action alerts to the Travelers Together network, who give voice to the JFI position as constituents of public officials and legislators. To be added to the legislative advocacy network, email ssullivan@archatl.com with your name, preferred e-mail address, and parish home.
