If you’re wondering what immigration enforcement has looked like in Missouri, we’d love to see you at our next meeting. We’ll present on who is getting detained, how and where it’s happening, what the experience is like, and how Missourians are walking alongside impacted families.

Eternally grateful to Jonathan Ahl and the wonderful team at STL PR for raising the voices of impacted people and showcasing our work so we can continue to grow The Beloved Community! Don’t forget to press “listen!” Thank you to Bob Phelan for photographing our event!

Abide in Love, a group formed after the death of an immigrant detained in the Phelps County Jail, marked its first anniversary.

The Rolla-based organization has grown to seven chapters across three states. The group shared stories of people they are helping during a two-hour event in Rolla on May 22.

“Voices of Hope” featured eight speakers, immigrants and their families, whom Abide in Love helped with services including money for jail phone calls and commissary, grocery deliveries, bus tickets to go home after a detainee was released, hotels, rent, bills and more.

What do immigration trends tell us about what's happening in our communities right now—and what can we do about it?

Join us on Friday for the next installment of the Ashrei Insights webinar series featuring Dr. Austin Kocher, a leading researcher and expert on immigration data and enforcement.

Building on the conversation we began during Dr. Kocher's visit to St. Louis in March, this webinar will explore findings from Ashrei's Immigration Data Project, place them in the context of national immigration trends, and identify paths for action and advocacy.

Whether you're an advocate, service provider, policymaker, or community member, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of the data shaping today's immigration landscape.

📅 Friday, June 12 | 10:00 a.m. CT
💻 Zoom

We were honored to present at the Cambio Center’s 24th annual Cambio de Colores conference! We shared the origin story of Abide in Love, our work and that of our incredible affiliates in supporting people detained by ICE, and the data we’ve collected that sheds light on the detention to deportation pipeline in Missouri. What a wonderful opportunity for us!

Even though what we do may seem small, to them it means everything. This is why we do what we do, and why we are able to continue this work because of our donors. So many have no one to explain what is happening, guide them through the next steps, remind them they are not forgotten, and let them know their life matters.
