Lee connects, through her work, issues of race, gender, economic justice, anti-militarism, LGBTQ inclusion and immigrant rights. im4humanintegrity.org.

He mobilizes activists, organizations, and lawmakers across California to ensure that displaced people are treated with the dignity they deserve.

Karen Alschuler, moderator, is co-chair of the Sherith Israel Social Action Committee. Karen has been building our social justice work as a Sanctuary congregation. As she advocates for immigrants at the Cali- fornia Statehouse and at the ICE Court, Karen has widened our interfaith network She has been fortunate to accompany immigrants on their journey toward a self-sustaining life in a new country.
