Immigration, Abolition, & the Christian Faith: Elle Dowd & Alejandra Oliva

Join us for a thought-provoking online conversation with authors Pastor Elle Dowd, (she/they) ("Baptized in Tear Gas: From White Moderate to Abolitionist") and Alejandra Oliva (she/her)("Rivermouth")! We will engage in a conversation about the intersection of abolition, immigration, and the Christian faith.

Pastor Elle and Alejandra will do short readings from their books and discuss how people of faith, particularly Christians, can approach immigration issues and specifically the fight for abolition of harmful immigration systems, including ICE detention. The authors will end with some suggestions of ways in which Christian and church congregations can answer the call to be in solidarity with immigrant communities.People of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome, but both authors will share pieces from their books that bring in Christian traditions and perspectives.
