Wake Interfaith Immigration Network
More than 60 churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, and other faith communities across Wake County have come together around a simple conviction: our immigrant and refugee neighbors deserve welcome, dignity, and fair treatment. As people of faith, we feel called to respond — not just with words, but with presence and action. We invite you to join us.

October 11: A Stand for Dignity – Watch the Video
On Sunday, October 11, we gathered downtown for A Stand for Dignity. This event was not a protest; it was a community gathering for public witness. Together, we proclaimed a vision of unity over division, affirming the basic human decency and due process that every person deserves, and called for the changes we know are needed in the way our nation treats immigrant neighbors.
The program was scheduled to be held on the grounds of the North Carolina State Capitol, but due to severe weather the event was moved indoors to First Baptist Church’s sanctuary.
The program featured interfaith prayer and song, along with speakers sharing perspectives on the immigrant experience and the call of faith.
