Immigration Justice

Our church takes seriously the biblical injunction to “welcome the stranger.” We see it as a moral crisis related to our faith when political leadership demeans and destroys immigrant families.

Immigrant Family Support

Our community outreach organizer (organizer@firstchurchwilliamstown.org) works with immigrant families to connect them with community resources and support.

We provide support to the Berkshire Immigrant Center, the regional immigration service agency.  FCC’s Immigrant Family Support Fund is used to address critical needs of local immigrant families. To contribute to this effort, please donate to FCC and designate your contribution to the Immigrant Family Support Fund.

 

Work and Family Mobility Act

An Act Relative to Work & Family Mobility (H.3456 / S.2289) would enable all qualified state residents to apply for a standard Massachusetts driver’s license, regardless of immigration status, while keeping our Commonwealth in full compliance with REAL ID requirements.
