Education Team Launches “Community Conversations.” Are you ready to #WelcomeLikeJesus? The Kino Border Initiative is so grateful to partner with you to create spaces in communities across the US where we can gather to share honestly about our own experiences of welcome and exclusion, learn about what motivates people to migrate to the US-Mexico border today, reflect on what it means to #WelcomeLikeJesus, and imagine how we can do this together. During this training, we will equip you with the tools to lead others into this space and facilitate a welcoming environment that can foster transformation toward solidarity with migrants.
