Many CCDA leaders (some of whom are immigrants) experience and witness firsthand the unnecessary hardships our immigrant neighbors face as a result of a broken immigration system. We recognize the churches and community-based program leaders within our association who remain committed to work alongside immigrants. We applaud and support the good justice work they are doing.
We are actively engaging people in our association and the broader community through education, leadership development, and bringing our experiences and understanding to the public square.

Immigration Network
We are an informal band of Christian leaders from cities across the United States who share a common passion for just and humane immigration reform, and who seek company, wisdom and practical assistance in local engagement and collective, national response. We have a Google group where we share prayer requests, network, update each other on local immigration initiatives/issues, and more.
Past Initiatives: El Camino
We have had a steadfast commitment to immigration reform and are committed for the long haul. It is a hard journey, but a good one – a “buen camino”. Here you will find some action initiatives we have done to walk alongside immigrants in their journeys.Resources
