We organize member congregations from diverse faith backgrounds who come together around shared faith values.
Spiritual Non-violence
Inspired by peaceful movements for social change, we confront violent structures with bold compassion and courageous love.

As part of the Philadelphia Family Unity Network coalition, New Sanctuary Movement successfully ended collaboration between all Philadelphia city officials and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the deportation wing of the federal government. Thanks to our hard-won victory, countless immigrant families in Philadelphia remain together and are safer from deportation.
After 843 days of resisting unjust, racist immigration laws and fighting to keep their family together, the Thompsons win their Sanctuary campaign! Since fleeing Jamaica in 2004 after their farm was burned and they received death threats, the family has been pursuing peace and safety. Now, the family is finally able to walk free.
After 554 in Sanctuary, Suyapa Reyes and her children have won their campaign and are free to leave Sanctuary!
