Central Baptist Church's affiliation with the Philadelphia New Sanctuary Movement is a renewal of CBC's prophetic engagement in the original Sanctuary Movement, declared in a congregational vote in 1984. This reaffirmation today of our historic commitment is grounded in our congregation's vision of “justice rooted in spirituality” and “making a difference in community.”-Congregational Meeting April 25th, 2010.

Call to Action for Immigrant Justice from the New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia

When:  Sunday, June 27th, at 2pm
Where:Annunciation Catholic Church / 1511 S. 10th St. / South Philadelphia
New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia
New Sanctuary Movement, in conjunction with JUNTOS and the Philadelphia Storytelling Project, is organizing an important forum to share testimony with city officials concerning collaborations between the Philadelphia police department and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) officials and the impact on immigrants in our communities.  NSM has a verbal commitment from the deputy mayor to attend, and is working on a commitment from the Philadelphia District Attorney, as well.  We need to show District Attorney Seth Williams and other public officials that these issues are concerns for undocumented and documented community members alike. 




The goal is to have 400 people turn out for this event.  


Please join us!
