Bishop Dwayne Royster of Faith in Action has a message for our communities.
Donald Trump is telling you that voting machines are not safe. That your vote will not count. That the system is broken.
Do not believe it.
Election officials across this country are warning that Trump’s claims are far more dangerous than any vulnerability he is pointing to. We have faced foreign interference before. We have stopped it before. And we will again.
The only election fraud happening right now is the attempt to scare you away from the polls.
So here is what Bishop Royster wants you to know. Your vote is sacred. Your vote is powerful. And that is exactly why they do not want you to cast it.
Get out and vote. Do not let fear win.
Faith in Action is watching. And we are not backing down.

In case you missed it — Shakira just performed at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey for the FIFA World Cup. A celebration of mixed cultures, diverse backgrounds, and a song that said you are welcomed here. It was beautiful.
Twenty minutes down the road sits Delaney Hall. Where immigrants are being detained in conditions that have been described as inhumane.
Bishop Dwayne Royster of Faith in Action said it simply: we have got to do better.
The contradiction could not be more clear. We will celebrate your culture on a stage and detain you down the street.
Faith in Action is not looking away.

When I was hungry did you feed me? Did you give me a place to stay?”

We mourn Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero and hold his loved ones in prayer. ICE has brought fear, violence, and loss to too many families. Our grief must move us to action. We will continue to raise our voices, put our faith into action, and organize until immigrant families can live free from detention, separation, and the threat of deadly violence. Rest in power, Johan.

Descansa en poder, Johan.

This week more than 100 people of faith showed up with @faithinnj outside Delaney Hall demanding closure and transparency about what is happening inside.
White ribbons for the detained. Black ribbons for those who have died in ICE custody.
And then a young man walked out. We prayed with him on the street. And then he showed us something his fellow detainees had signed before he left.
Watch the video.
Faith is not silent. And neither are we.

We are on the ground with @faithinnj for #AllRoadsLeadToDelaneyHall.
We’re joining people of faith and community leaders for a day of prayer, public witness, organizing, and collective action to call for an end to the harm caused by GEO Group and to demand that no corporation profit from the detention of our communities.
Our faith calls us to stand with our neighbors, protect families, and build a future rooted in dignity, justice, and belonging.

Two men. Both on their way to work. Both shot and killed by ICE in seven days.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Houston. Father of three.
Joan Sebastian Guerrero. Maine. 26 years old. Work authorized. Not even the target.
ICE is the highest funded law enforcement agency in the country — $85 billion. And none of it is going to training or accountability.
Faith in Action is demanding answers. Because every one of God’s children deserves to be safe.

Faith in Action mourns the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and holds his family and loved ones in prayer.
Lorenzo was made in the image of God. His life had dignity, and his family deserves the truth. We join the call for a full, transparent, and independent investigation into his killing, and for the release of all available evidence.
An immigration system rooted in fear, militarization, and violence betrays the justice and mercy our faith demands. Faith in Action will continue organizing with faith communities across the country to build a nation and an immigration system that honors the dignity and sacred worth of every person and their families.

Fe en Acción lamenta profundamente el asesinato de Lorenzo Salgado Araujo y mantiene en oración a su familia y a sus seres queridos.
Lorenzo fue creado a la imagen de Dios. Su vida tenía dignidad, y su familia merece conocer la verdad. Nos unimos al llamado por una investigación completa, transparente e independiente sobre su asesinato, y por la publicación de toda la evidencia disponible.
Un sistema migratorio basado en el miedo, la militarización y la violencia traiciona la justicia y la misericordia que nuestra fe nos exige. Fe en Acción seguirá organizando junto a comunidades de fe en todo el país para construir una nación y un sistema migratorio que honra la dignidad y el valor sagrado de cada persona y de sus familias.
Fe en Acción lamenta profundamente el asesinato de Lorenzo Salgado Araujo y mantiene en oración a su familia y a sus seres queridos.

America turns 250 this year. At our Architects of a New America conference in Allentown, Pennsylvania we asked the people on the front lines of this work one question: has America kept its promise?
Their answers will make you think. And their vision will make you believe.
This is the America we are building. And we are not waiting for permission.
