Resources

Our mission at We Choose Welcome is to empower our community to have brave conversations about immigration and to take impactful action for the vulnerable in both our personal lives and through advocating for more just immigration policies.

These free downloads have been crafted to help you navigate tricky conversations with truth and grace, and wrestle with the complexity of balancing the teachings of Jesus with real world applications in our immigration policies today.

As our nation heads toward another contention election day, our hope is that these words will steady you and give you words to pray not just during this election season, but during any season when words fall short and you need support in crying out at the injustice and weight of the world. May our hearts be shaped through our prayers, that we would learn to welcome like Jesus.

Immigration has become a contentious political topic, but it’s fundamentally a human issue. There are big opportunities and challenges ahead, and lasting change has to involve future generations. Join us as we dig into the question at hand: How can we raise kids who welcome?

U.S. politics are divisive and full of anger and fear, so what is a follower of Jesus to do? Do we jump into the fray and battle our political enemies? Or do we take a cue from those like Daniel, Jeremiah, and Jesus, who used the privileges and resources they had to seek the flourishing of the places where they found themselves?

Our world is increasingly online, and many news articles are designed to trigger our fear and outrage. So what do we do when we find ourselves triggered by the news? How do we move forward in a proactive and positive way, rather than getting sucked into doom scrolling or responding without all of the facts?

We believe that everyone is equipped to join the welcome movement and create a more just world—download our advocacy guide for easy ideas and steps for engaging democracy like a pro! 

This resource, written by our friends at Chasing Justice in partnership with our team, is designed to guide our community as we identify and take actionable steps toward effective solidarity with our immigrant neighbors. 

This straightforward guide is designed to give you the tools you need to feel empowered to have brave and grace-filled conversations about immigration with those that you love.

As we continue our pursuit of justice for the vulnerable, it’s essential that we take time to nurture our own emotional and mental health as well. We are here to cheer on the unique contributions that you bring to the work, and we hope that you also take time to rest well and see your value outside of the work that you do.
