“No Borders, No Walls” 2024

UUJMCA’s Annual Virtual Pilgrimage to the California/Mexico Border

In partnership with Via International & UU Refugee & Immigrant Services and Education (UURISE), we are excited to offer a new online immersion for UUs and UU-aligned individuals interested in learning and engaging with the realities of immigration at the California border.

Through online virtual visits, attendees will have an opportunity to witness the effect of US Immigration policies from both sides of the border, deepen our faith connection to issues and efforts around immigration justice, and to connect with communities directly impacted by our broken immigration system.
