Invest in Anti-racist Work with MFSAIowa’s Match!
We at MFSA, both locally and nationally, have engaged in serious dialogue, training, and holy confession over the past several years around systemic racism operating in our governance and organization. We have named this as a priority for ourselves and know that we have work to do. At the national level MFSA has invested $25,000 in this consulting process to begin to dismantling racist systems, policies, and practices within our organization. During September, you can make your own investment in anti-racist work by giving to MFSA's anti-racist work. We believe in this vital work enough that we will match donations received during September up to $1,000. Donate through PayPal (button at bottom of page) or mail a check to Mike Biklen, 515 East Eleventh Street, Muscatine, IA 52761. (designate for anti-racist ministry) Support Needed: The Iowa Sanctuary Movement (MFSA is a member) is helping to sponsor several asylum-seekers in the Des Moines Area, as well as to help DACA recipients and other immigrants impacted by ICE. Financial support is needed for all of those projects.
