Webinar: The FEER Survey on the Effects of US Immigration and Refugee Policies on Faith-Based Organizations
Join the Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) for a webinar to discuss the report, “The Effects of Immigration Enforcement on Faith-Based Organizations: An Analysis of the FEER Survey.” The report analyzes the Federal Enforcement Effect Research (FEER) Survey, which describes the impact of US policies on faith-based organizations (FBOs) that serve and advocate with immigrant and refugee populations. The survey — which focuses on Catholic institutions, programs and ministries — finds that US immigration policies in the Trump era have created an increased demand for services from FBOs, but negatively impacted the ability of immigrants to access their services and to participate in their programs and ministries. In this webinar, Donald Kerwin and Mike Nicholson will discuss the survey and leaders from major Catholic organizations will discuss the impact of US policies on the services and ministries with immigrants and refugee provided by their networks. Speakers will also discuss policy ideas to address FEER Survey findings.
