Pastoral Care and Communion Campaign

When “Operation Midway Blitz” first hit our streets, we immediately developed a plan to respond to the increasingly harmful immigration enforcement operations impacting every neighborhood where our members live and work. Since then, thousands of priests, sisters, and lay people have taken part in our public, non-violent, spirit-led actions, including People’s Masses and a Eucharistic Procession.

Our building momentum is bringing visibility to our sisters and brothers being brutally kidnapped, detained, and deported.

We are raising our voices to call upon our nation to treat all people with their inherent dignity.

This work focuses on:

• Building racial solidarity between immigrant communities and other communities of color.

• Directly confronting the perpetrators of unjust operations with spiritually-rooted, nonviolent direct actions at the bases of immigration operations (ICE Headquarters, Broadview ICE facility, Great Lakes Naval Station).

• Supporting the work of parishes to protect their parishioners and respond to ICE raids, and providing resources to help them hold their own solidarity-driven actions and events.

• Strategically pursuing local and national visibility to elevate the moral authority of the grassroots church by proclaiming the dignity and rights of all people.
