BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
In the early 1980s, one church in Tucson, Arizona, began to open its arms to the waves of migrants and refugees who were fleeing US-backed wars in Central America. They would take in migrants and refugees. They would shelter them against government agents and border patrol.
A new underground railroad for Central Americans fleeing US-backed violence abroad.
It quickly became a national movement. Within three years, 500 churches, synagogues, and university campuses had joined and were actively protecting Central American migrants. Good Samaritans standing for their Central American brothers and sisters.
As President Donald Trump continues to attack immigrants across the United States, the history of the Sanctuary Movement is more important than ever now.
