Breaking Bread and Building Bridges is part of a larger strategy to lift the voices of faith communities at
the local and national level and turn the tide for immigrants’ rights. Local events such as potlucks, vigils, and detention visitation connect advocates with those most directly affected by unjust immigration policies. The
