Faithful Advocacy for Immigrants and Refugees with Noel Andersen - Walk Talk Listen (episode 152‪)‬ Walk Talk Listen Podcast

In this episode, we are joined by Noel Andersen who recently spoke at the Ecumenical Advocacy Days 2024 Spring Summit domestic workshop. As the National Field Director for Church World Service he has been at the forefront of mobilizing faith communities across the United States to support immigrants and refugees through actionable solidarity. He brings a rich background of community development and organizing from his time in Central America and along the U.S.-Mexico border. An ordained minister in the United Church of Christ (UCC), Noel is also a co-founder of the UCC National Collaborative on Immigration, a grassroots initiative aimed at galvanizing UCC leaders in the fight for immigrants' rights. His commitment to social change is further evident in his work with the Refugee Leadership Development for Social Change project at CWS, which has empowered thousands of refugees with skills in community organizing.
