Those seeking a change in federal policies will announce Wednesday the launch of a new sanctuary movement designed to protect illegal immigrants from deportation and spur immigration reform.
Announcements will be made at St. Mark's Cathedral in Seattle as well as in Los Angeles, New York and other cities. The movement is billed as a revival of a church-sponsored one in the 1980s that helped Central Americans fleeing civil wars.
Houses of worship will participate in the interfaith movement by offering housing, legal help, financial assistance and advocacy.
"Identities and faces and names (of those given sanctuary will not be) concealed," said Michael Ramos, director of social justice ministries for the Church Council of Greater Seattle. "We're not talking about breaking the law. But it's symbolic of a broken immigration system."
