Sanctuary City Stories

In a surprising twist, we turn our focus to the elderly population within sanctuary cities. Often perceived as passive bystanders, many seniors are actively involved in supporting undocumented immigrants. From offering their homes as safe havens, to sharing wisdom and life experiences, these elderly supporters play a substantial role in the sanctuary movement. We'll hear touching stories of intergenerational bonds formed, and discuss how this involvement impacts the seniors' sense of purpose and the immigrants' journey.
