Providing support and resources to immigrants in the Pikes Peak region.
OUR MISSION
A Pikes Peak region in which immigrants receive necessary support to thrive and do not live in fear of detention, deportation, or the separation of their family.
The Accompaniment and Sanctuary Coalition of Colorado Springs seeks to make the Pikes Peak region a safer place for immigrants by standing with and protecting immigrants facing obstacles in everyday life, including housing, finances, healthcare, well-being and apprehension/ deportation. We do this by supporting and connecting them to the valuable resources in their communities, educating faith communities on issues of immigration and activating them in the coalition’s work, advocating for policy change, and providing sanctuary in a host church to vetted immigrants facing imminent deportation.
