Greensboro Interfaith Immigrant Justice Coalition

Who We Are

An interfaith coalition for immigrant justice in Greensboro

The world for immigrants and refugees in the U.S. has changed drastically — and not for the better. We've seen illegal ICE violence, unjust detainments, and erosions of rights for both those who are undocumented and those who have legal status. The need for the Greensboro Interfaith Immigrant Justice Coalition has never been greater.

The Coalition has become more integrated with local agencies and others meeting the complex needs of our immigrant and refugee neighbors each day. We have expanded our Board of Advisors to include several local clergy members, and our Board reinforced the Coalition's key missions.

We are building a community broader than immigrants and refugees — encompassing all those who are marginalized and treated unjustly, as well as all those who are fighting for justice. We're all in this together.

Raising Awareness

Informing our community about the realities facing immigrant and refugee neighbors, and connecting people to the work of justice in Greensboro.

Advocacy & Public Witness

Standing with our neighbors at city council meetings, marches, and public forums — making our voices heard for policies that protect human dignity. Through office visits, letters, emails, and phone calls, advocating for immigrant justice to all our legislators.

Direct Assistance

Connecting families to food, legal support, Know Your Rights resources, and essential services through our agency partners.

NO KINGS! Rally — March 28

The current unjust and immoral policies of this administration continue to harm our immigrant and refugee neighbors. The growing authoritarianism threatens us all. None of us is free until all of us are free. By advocating for and caring for our neighbors, we create safer and healthier communities. When we help them, we help ourselves because we are all in this together.

What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has evolved into a sustained national resistance against tyranny, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community determined to defend democracy. Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever. When our families are under attack and living costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration's unjust and cruel acts of violence. On March 28th, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. We're not just watching history happen — we're making it. Join us.

More info about the 3/28 NO KINGS Rally and SIGN UP HERE.

Beginning at 11 AM, we will march from 3 different locations and end with a BIG rally at 301 W. Market St. More information, including exact locations and parking details, will be added once finalized. This rally will include marches, inspiring speakers, and motivating music, including the Piedmont Raging Grannies and the new SINGING RESISTANCE GSO.

Singing Resistance Comes to Greensboro

Singing has always been a powerful form of resistance to authoritarianism in many countries and cultures. In its new form, Singing Resistance (SR) is spreading across the US, advocating for immigrant justice and humane treatment for all our neighbors. SR is now in Greensboro and growing every day! Currently there are 200 Greensboro Singing Resistance Singers learning the powerful SR songs and organizing to take part in the NO KINGS Rally on March 28.

We sing our simple resistance songs of grief, hope, and solidarity.

You can join us too. No experience necessary.

You can learn more about SR and SIGN UP HERE.

Community Need

Church World Service Needs Donations for the Refugee Feeding Network

Due to a bill that passed last July, many of our refugee neighbors are no longer eligible for SNAP benefits. In response, Church World Service Greensboro is partnering with A Simple Gesture, Out of the Garden Project, and the community to provide culturally appropriate foods to refugees in our area — and we need your help to sustain these efforts!

To get involved, you can sign up to be a monthly food donor or donate to the Refugee Feeding Network to help purchase needed food items. The Refugee Feeding Network is a community-led program ensuring our refugee neighbors have access to wholesome, nutritious food. This is a meaningful way to support those who were welcomed to our area and are now facing food insecurity.

Learn more about this program and how to get involved here:

Some most-needed items are cooking oil, flour, sugar, jasmine rice, Nido (powdered milk), and black tea. See the website for a full list of needed items!
