National Sanctuary Movement

The National Sanctuary Movement is a coalition that provides legal and community support to immigrants, especially those facing deportation. It encourages local organizations, churches, and communities to offer safe spaces—called sanctuaries—for individuals seeking refuge from immigration enforcement. The movement emphasizes human rights and social justice, aiming to protect vulnerable populations and promote fair treatment regardless of immigration status. By fostering solidarity and activism, it seeks to influence policies and create a more humane approach to immigration enforcement across the country.
