Information and Resources

The Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania has created a web page of resources with information, including: 

​

  • Know Your Rights flyers (available in multiple languages) outlining steps to take in three situations: ICE at your home, ICE at your place of employment, and ICE encounters in the community

  • A Know Your Rights wallet card for personal use: There are actual red cards available, but the printable cards are good to keep on hand continuously at your church

  • DIOPA signage for placement at building entrances and windows (suitable for printing, enlargement, or yard signs)

  • A guide for churches on supporting and protecting those they serve during outreach and community programs

  • A peaceful protest and de-escalation guide, including additional resources

​

The National Episcopal Church offers an immigration toolkit in our ongoing support of migrants, and those living in our communities who face uncertain futures:

​

  • Be prepared  

    • “Know Your Rights” training can help clergy, undocumented people, and allies know how to handle a possible encounter with federal, state, or local law enforcement

Prayer and Vigils

Norristown Weekly Prayer

 

In Norristown, a weekly interfaith prayer vigil is being held on Tuesdays at 2 p.m. In recent weeks, the service has been held at the Reformed Church of the Ascension, United Church of Christ. But in upcoming weeks, it is expected to be held outdoors on the corner of Marshall & George streets in Norristown when the snow is fully removed.
