Standing on the Side of Love with Immigrant Families
An Interfaith Community Witness Event
Join Unitarian Universalist Association President Rev. William Sinkford & Interfaith and Community Leaders
As a welcoming association of religious communities, Unitarian Universalists (UUs) value all individuals and their families. Immigrant families face discrimination, hatred, and legal barriers to keeping their families together.
Witness for family values that value all families!

- Friday, June 26th, 5:15 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Where:
- Gallivan Center, Outdoor Plaza
Immediately following Plenary we will proceed together two blocks to the Gallivan Center Outdoor Plaza. Exit Salt Palace at the 200 South exit—by the South Foyer and outdoor plaza—and walk left two blocks to the Gallivan Center’s Outdoor Plaza. Accessible space. Seating available.
Our current immigration system keeps families apart through a huge backlog in family-based immigration and the unjust detention and deportation of immigrant mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters.
We call for national humane and just family-based immigration reform!
We call for an end to unjust raids and deportations!
We oppose Utah’s anti-immigrant legislation (SB81) that becomes law on July 1st!
