Link AFSC Report -- A New Path: toward humane immigration policy
Published February 2009. The principles and recommendations of A New Path: Toward Humane Immigration Policy are grounded in AFSC’s history and values as a faith-based organization and the voices of the communities with whom we are deeply connected. AFSC supports measures that ensure the integration of immigrants as full members of our society and address the root causes that push people to migrate. We believe that the basis of U.S. immigration policy should be the protection of human rights rather than an immigration system designed to supply labor to employers.

Folder IMYM Intervisitation on Immigration and Border Concerns
In June 2007 the Yearly Meeting approved a program of educational and worshipful inter-visitation within the Yearly Meeting that consists of grounding in the spirit of our testimonies, grounding in the experience of our daily lives, and grounding in the shared experience of others. This is to be carried out by Intermountain Friends at the invitation of monthly meetings and worship , and in cooperation with local Friends active in Peace and Social Concerns, AFSC, FCNL and related projects as appropriate. This folder contains supporting materials for this project.
