We offer hearty thanks to Hannah Evans Graf of the Friends Committee on National Legislation (also co-chair of the Interfaith Immigration Coalition) and Dylan Corbett from the Hope Border Institute who joined us for the webinar. Also, to our members and allies from within ICCR or other networks, we are grateful that you joined us.
If you are only seeing this for the first time now, in the webinar we:
- Reviewed our values and commitments on immigration
- Assessed the state of play on policy
- Highlighted what some allies are doing
- Encouraged deeper investor engagement with our companies around concerns on immigration (e.g., the shareholder letter to JPMorgan Chase concerning investment in private prisons and immigration detention centers)
The slides from the webinar are available here.
Some helpful resources include:
- Hope Border Institute
- Friends Committee on National Legislation
- Interfaith Immigration Coalition
- Justice for Immigrants

Thanks, Chris, for this very informative webinar on Immigration and the Shareholder. Your suggestions for dialogue with corporations supporting detention centers, those contracting to build the wall, etc. is foundational to Seventh Generation issues. Ruth Geraets, PBVM.

Thanks, for your great background work, Chris! A key issue for our Congregation is Immigration. We have signed letters; however have not been involved in shareholder resolutions/dialogues.
In Joyful Service
