We show up. We stay.
Lutheran Migrant Solidarity Network stands with detained migrants at the Northwest Detention Center — through accompaniment and the long witness of faith.
Our covenant
We are a network of Lutheran congregations and individuals called by faith to stand with our neighbors who are detained. Rooted in the promise that every person bears the image of God, we show up — at the fence, at the window, in the halls of power — and we do not leave.
"I was a stranger and you welcomed me." — Matthew 25:35

"I didn't know what to do when my neighbor was detained. The network gave me a place to stand — and people to stand with. That changed everything."
