The Welcome Project’s Director of Immigrant Justice, was quoted in a recent Guardian article, highlighting the stand that Bucks County residents made against local police coordinating with ICE. Learn more here, and please support our advocacy work with migrant communities! Thank you for helping us widen the welcome!

Danny Ceisler’s defeat in sheriff’s race of incumbent who had signed an agreement to work with ICE sends a message on US’s contentious debate around immigration policy

The Welcome Project’s Director of Immigrant Justice, Heidi Roux, was featured in a WHYY article about one of WPPA’s partner organizations, Project Libertad. Heidi nominated Rachel Rutter for the Good Souls honor. “The work she does, her passion, her drive is astonishing,” Roux said. “She gives her all, and she does such good work. I know of a number of youth that she has helped. That if she had not helped them, they would have no one else.”

Roux came to the U.S. from El Salvador at age 6, fleeing civil war. Now, she’s a U.S. citizen — one who understands intimately what a lifeline people like Rutter provide.

“It’s because of good souls like Rachel that I think that I — and many other children — have been given the opportunity to create wonderful lives and be part of our amazing society and community,” she said.

WPPA is grateful to be in this work with Rachel and Project Libertad. Please support our work in immigrant justice by making your end-of-year gift today! We are thankful for all of you who help us widen the welcome...

❤️‍🔥Together, we will continue widening the welcome and working towards the day when everyone can live with dignity, safety and opportunity. 🗞️Read more: https://whyy.org/episodes/a-beautiful-soul-this-philly-lawyer-helps-undocumented-children-transition-to-the-u-s-with-safety-stability-and-hope/

Many of the kids Rutter helps arrive in the U.S. alone and lack stable housing, food, and mental health care.

😵‍💫The immigration system can be incredibly difficult to navigate, as there is a lot of misinformation out there.

➡️Do you or anyone you know need resources related to legal status or rights?
➡️ Is your faith community looking for ways to be supportive of immigrant communities?

❤️‍🔥The Welcome Project PA offers free legal clinics, attorney consults, and other supports.

✅Please visit our website for more information and share with others! Or email us at heidi@welcomeprojectpa.org

The Welcome Project PA joins with people around the world to reaffirm the values of human rights, emphasizing that human rights shape our daily lives, many times in ways we may not notice. Human rights are essentials, and not abstract concepts. So on this 10th day of December, 2025, Human Rights Day, we join hand in hand, arm in arm with our siblings across the globe: human rights are positive, essential and attainable! Let's keep on Widening the Welcome!
