Abuse Prevention and Response Advocacy with Jay Kieve

CBF recently named Jay Kieve, CBF South Carolina coordinator, as the Abuse Prevention and Response Advocate.

Welcoming the Stranger: Advocacy for Immigrants and Refugees

Over the last several years, immigration reform has been a highly contested topic across America as news broke of the ill-treatment of family separation and inhumane conditions in detention facilities.

The Biden administration recently made headlines with a tremendous shift from the previous administration’s cap on the number of refugees that would be allowed to seek asylum in the United States.

We sat down for a panel conversation on the matter with Rev. Dr. Sharon Stanley-Rea, the Director of Refugees and Immigration Ministries for the Disciples Home Missions, Matthew Soerens, the US Director of Church Mobilization for World Relief, and Elket Rodríguez, CBF and CBF Southwest Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy and Mission Specialist.
