The IM4HI and its partners accompany immigrant youth and families. They respond to the detention and deportation crisis. Acting at the intersection of faith and social justice, Rev. Lee connects, through her work, issues of race, gender, economic justice, anti-militarism, LGBTQ inclusion and immigrant rights. im4humanintegrity.org.
