National Justice for Our Neighbors (NJFON) is committed to promoting policies that restore human dignity, center community well-being, and prioritize equity and harm reduction in the U.S. immigration system. Our advocacy efforts will center the voices and imaginations of immigrants to determine a future in which everyone can thrive. 

 

In 2021, we are energized and ready to fight for a breakthrough that legalizes millions of neighbors. We cannot let what happened in the past happen again. It is time to repair our broken and outdated immigration system.

 

With undocumented communities at the center of this network-wide advocacy initiative, we plan on mobilizing our communities to lobby legislators in as many states as we can for a week of action. We also aim to have op-eds written by site leadership, clients and faith leaders and build the capacity of our supporters to host virtual prayer vigils and engage in social media. We will partner with the General Board of Church and Society (GBCS) to execute this initiative and engage in our advocacy alongside members of United Methodist Rapid Response Teams.

 

This coordinated advocacy effort aims to create permanent pathways to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants settled here.

 

We must have a system that recognizes all of us. Our dignity. Our contributions. Our voices. Our future. All of us. It is time.
