Following Undocumented: What Do Faith Communities Need to Know?, a teach-in for people of faith, Trinity Church Wall Street has compiled an online primer for those seeking information and answers about U.S. immigration policies, current issues, and ways to help those at risk of deportation.

Lectures and panel discussions covering the immigrant experience, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), temporary protected status, and sanctuary from the teach-in may be watched on demand at trinitywallstreet.org/undocumented. Featured speakers include the Very Rev. Dr. Michael Battle of The General Theological Seminary; Laura Lemus, National Urban Fellow at Baruch College and DACA recipient; Lacy Broemel, Office of Government Relations, The Episcopal Church; Dr. Jihad Alharash, physician and Syrian immigrant; and Amaha Kassa of African Communities Together (ACT). In addition, The Rev. Dr. Chloe Breyer, Interfaith Center of New York, discusses what churches can do in conversation with Jose Chapa, Rural & Migrant Ministry, the Rev. Juan Carlos Ruiz, New Sanctuary Coalition, and Ms. Broemel.

Technical and legal definitions are also available, along with stories of what other communities are doing and referrals to partners in the Episcopal Church and secular organizations working to create a safe space for asylum seekers, refugees and other immigrants.

Undocumented was presented by Trinity Institute and Church Meets City on October 28 at Trinity Church in Lower Manhattan. For more information, visit trinitywallstreet.org/undocumented.
