Power faith leaders working for justice with a gift to Groundswell.
 
"Groundswell helped me run a campaign to keep Daniel's family together."
|
When our neighbor Daniel was going to be taken away from his family because he’s undocumented, my church welcomed him into Sanctuary. We promised to keep him safe until his deportation order was closed.
But we needed help to do that, so I reached out to Groundswell. They helped me start and run a petition on their platform, asking President Obama and the Department of Homeland Security to close Daniel’s case. With Groundswell’s digital and strategy coaching and support, we succeeding in getting Daniel home safe to his son Carlos and his wife Karla before Father’s Day.
I’m so grateful for Groundswell, and I’m not the only one. They’re helping inspire and equip people of faith and moral courage to heal the world and make an impact every day. I hope you’ll join me this year in showing Groundswell some love, and making their work possible.
When we needed help, Groundswell was there to help us mobilize thousands of people to stand with Daniel, and figure out how to get his story in the halls of power to keep his family together.
And when other people found out, it gave birth to Sanctuary 2014, with 8 other congregations bringing neighbors into Sanctuary.
Groundswell helped us all set up petitions, send emails, and get media coverage. Plus, they did online trainings to help our leaders across the country get better at making change.
And it’s not just immigration. Groundswell is supporting faith leaders working on racial injustice, the environment, LGBT equality, women’s rights, and more. But they need our support to keep it up.
Thank you for everything you do, and for being a part of the multifaith movement for justice,
