With workplace raids, family separation, detention centers, and deportations, how are religious communities responding to issues facing Latinos in the United States? Gina Pérez, author of Sanctuary People: Faith-Based Organizing in Latina/o Communities, joins us to discuss faith-based activism within Latino communities and the new sanctuary movement. We discuss the religious roots of the sanctuary movement and how religious communities are protecting immigrants. We also explore how faith communities are helping families after workplace raids and deportations, and what the possibility of Donald Trump’s reelection portends for Latinos in the United States.
