WE ARE NEIGHBORS
in Colorado Springs who refuse to accept silence as a response to injustice. Instead, we choose to speak up and act.
Our faith in Jesus Christ compels us to care for the vulnerable and the foreigner—and to advocate for them when they are mistreated or harmed. The current practice of family detention in the United States is unnecessary, cruel, and un-American. A nation that values family, freedom, limited government, and human dignity should never accept the routine incarceration of children.
We are committed to nonviolence in both action and speech. We will speak truth, insist on accountability, and treat every person with dignity. We stand with immigrant families—our neighbors who contribute to our communities and are overwhelmingly not violent criminals, but parents and children seeking safety while attempting to follow the legal process.
We believe too much of the public narrative surrounding immigration has been shaped by fear rather than facts. Family detention does not solve our immigration challenges; it deepens trauma, destabilizes families, and erodes trust across entire communities.
For these reasons, we are calling on our government to end family detention.
