Sanctuary Movement Exhibit

The Puente Program and CCSF is partnering with Amplifying Sanctuary Voices (ASV) and  the East Bay Sanctuary Covenant (EBSC) to host an exhibit on the history of the sanctuary movement and its roots in Berkeley and the Bay Area.
 
When: Thursday 11/10/22 to Monday 1/10/23
Where: In the lobby of CCSF’s Mission campus (1125 Valencia St., between 22nd and 23rd)
 
Please join us for an opening celebration and gathering next Thursday, 11/10, from 10am to 12pm. We’ll gather in the lobby, share migration stories and talk about history of the sanctuary movement and the important role that the East Bay Sanctuary Covenant played and plays in helping people seek asylum.
 
Amplifying Sanctuary Voices (ASV) is a community-based oral history project centering the stories of Bay Area residents who have come to the U.S. seeking sanctuary. ASV stimulates dialogue and creates space in the mainstream political conversation for the diverse voices and experiences of those impacted by policy decisions.
 
Timeline of the Sanctuary Movement: 1951-1992
 
ASV has developed this Timeline to highlight the courage of refugees and activists who have fought tirelessly to protect human rights. Teachers may download the PDF for use in their classrooms. Stay tuned for Part II of the Timeline: 1992 – present. The exhibit is available for display in libraries, museums, and other public spaces.
