Two opportunities to learn more and to support Immigrants
1. Immigration 101 Workshop March 11, 2018 3:30 - 5:30
First Parish Church UCC Dover
Do you want to learn more about New Hampshire's immigrant community? Are you curious about the process to become a citizen?  Immigration enforcement, detention, and cost will also be addressed. The Dover Area Religious Leaders Association (DARLA) and the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) are co-sponsoring this workshop on immigration policies and dynamics from 3:30 to 5:30 Sunday, March 11, 2018 in the First Parish Church Sanctuary, 218 Central Ave, Dover.  All are welcome. The discussion will be led by Rev. Sandra Pontoh, Director of NH Indonesian Community Support, Sarah Jane Knoy, Executive Director of Granite State Organizing Project and Eva Castillo, Executive Director of NH Alliance for Immigrants and Refugees. 
 
2. Introducing the  SEACOAST INTERFAITH SANCTUARY COALITION
The Dover Friends Meeting has voted unanimously to become a sanctuary church, becoming only one of three in NH.  The Seacoast Interfaith Sanctuary Coalition is a grass-roots effort made up of faith groups in the Seacoast area that have organized to support offering sanctuary to an undocumented immigrant individual or family when requested.  Charlotte Ramsay will have an information table in the Community Room after church February 25 and March 4.  Stop by to learn more and to sign up as a volunteer -- there are all sorts of ways to support this sanctuary initiative!
