Fall Events @ Fauntleroy Church
A look at what’s coming up at Fauntleroy Church
Immigration Book Author is Coming
The author of a new book examining the immigration crisis on the southern U.S. border will discuss her experiences at Fauntleroy Church on Monday June 10 at 7 p.m.
Sarah Towle’s book, Crossing the Line: Finding America in the Borderlands, expresses her outrage about U.S. immigration policies and how she believes that they have led to a retreat in commitments to protect human rights. Through a series of interviews and visits to the U.S. Mexico border she describes conditions there, especially focusing on 2018 when immigration officials forcefully separated migrant families from their children.
The book has drawn praise from commentators, including filmmaker Ken Burns who declared “Sarah Towle has obliterated today’s dead-end arguments about immigration and transformed them into riveting, human stories.”
Towle, based in London, is an educator, researcher and writer who can be found online on Substack. The book is being published by She Writes Press with release on June 18.
The talk is being hosted by the Immigration Task Force at Fauntleroy UCC Church and Alki UCC Church.
