FUS Social Justice Teams urge FUS members to get involved by supporting local immigrant justice organizations led by those most impacted. Because things are changing rapidly, we suggest you join one or more local organizations and signup for their newsletters and email notices. Also, be sure you have signed up for the FUS Forward and Red Floors for up-to-the-minute reminders about events and actions we might take together.
