SUMMARY:Migration with Dignity
DESCRIPTION:The Episcopal Diocese of Virginia will recognize Migration with Dignity on Sunday\, February 8\, announced Bishop E. Mark Stevenson. This is an opportunity to learn about and teach about Migration with Dignity principles which address the challenges of global migration in a new way while aligning with the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international laws and agreements. \nAt the 81st General Convention in June 2024\, the Episcopal Church adopted a resolution calling for Migration with Dignity. \nAll congregations are encouraged to celebrate Migration with Dignity and to advance the vital work of justice in our communities every day. Resources are available in the toolkit. \n“Our commitment to Migration with Dignity is a living expression of our baptismal covenant to strive for justice and peace among all people\,” Bishop Stevenson said. “As we observe Migration with Dignity Sunday on February 8 in the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia\, we are reminded that to welcome the stranger is to welcome Christ himself. More than simply providing resources\, this observance is an expression of our unwavering commitment to the systemic work of advocacy\, and to championing the protections and inherent rights that reflect the divine worth of every human being.” \n“As Episcopalians\, we are called upon to affirm Migration with Dignity as a framework to guide ministry with migrants\,” the resolution reads in part\, “making urgent efforts to support arriving migrants’ immediate needs for shelter\, food\, clothing\, legal assistance\, work permits\, healthcare\, transportation…We are also urged to advocate for Migration with Dignity to local\, state\, national\, and international governing bodies\, exhorting them to enforce existing laws and policies that uphold these principles and to enact new laws and policies guaranteeing migrants welcome\, protection\, and integration into our common human journey.” \nRead the entire resolution here.

SUMMARY:Housing Justice\, Historical Truths: Documenting Exclusion and Resilience in Northern Virginia
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Dr. Krystyn Moon\, Professor of History and American Studies at the University of Mary Washington. Dr. Moon will provide historical context drawing on her extensive research and analysis of how racially restrictive covenants in Northern Virginia created separate and unequal communities across the region of Fairfax County\, Arlington County\, Alexandria City including the Seminary and Fort Ward neighborhoods. Dr. Moon is the author of Proximity to Power: Rethinking Race and Place in Northern Virginia published by UNC Press in Spring 2025. \nParticipants will gain insights into the consequences of these racial covenants including access to safe\, equitable housing and obstruction of generational wealth for marginalized populations today and how systemic displacement and public housing concentration targeted African-American neighborhoods whose residents responded with resilience\, agency and advocacy. \nTake the first step toward justice and repair by learning how to research if a racial covenant exists on your own property deed and how to petition for removal. During this hands-on session we will be accessing the work of Dr. Moon and her partner website\, Documenting Exclusion & Resilience. \nThis will be a hybrid event. \nTo register for Zoom or in-person attendance\, call 703.960.4808. \nLight Refreshments will be provided. \nContacts: Melissa Carter\, Davette Himes
