Nebraska Appleseed and Immigration Reform

This week Rachel and I continue our work at Nebraska Appleseed. I had a chance to sit down with Darcy Tromanhauser, Director of the Immigrant Integration and Civic Participation Program at Nebraska Appleseed, and she explained to me the mission of Appleseed and their efforts for comprehensive immigration reform. Rachel and I are involved in a variety of activities while at Appleseed, including making brochures and curriculums for United Methodists across Nebraska, practicing different presentations, being involved with the "Nebraska is Home" campaign (mentioned in previous post), and learning from the policy experts at Appleseed. It has been an eye-opening and educational experience for both of us and we look forward to spreading the word about how we all can take concrete steps toward truly "welcoming the stranger." Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God!
