Advocating for Change

At River Of Life Assemblies Int’l, we are proud to announce and celebrate the recent passage of Dignity Not Detention in the General Assembly. This significant achievement marks a step forward in our ongoing efforts to protect the rights and dignity of individuals in our community.

The Importance of Dignity Not Detention

Dignity Not Detention is a movement that seeks to address the inhumane treatment of individuals within the detention system. It aims to promote fair and humane treatment, ensuring that the rights and dignity of all individuals are upheld, regardless of their immigration status.

What Does Dignity Not Detention Entail?

Under Dignity Not Detention, our focus is on creating alternative solutions to detention that prioritize respect and dignity. We firmly believe that individuals awaiting immigration proceedings should not be subjected to harmful conditions or unnecessarily detained.

Through this legislation, we advocate for the use of community-based support programs, such as family or community supervision, case management, and access to legal representation. These alternative measures help ensure that individuals are not held in detention centers that often fail to meet basic human rights standards.

Our Commitment to the Community

At River Of Life Assemblies Int’l, we are deeply committed to fostering a community that values inclusivity, compassion, and justice. The passage of Dignity Not Detention aligns with our mission to create positive change and provide support to those in need.

Supporting Individuals and Families

We understand that the immigration process can be overwhelming and challenging for individuals and families. In light of this, we offer a range of services aimed at supporting their journey while upholding their rights and dignity. These services include legal aid, counseling, access to healthcare, language assistance, and educational resources.

Collaborating for Lasting Impact

We recognize that creating lasting change requires collaboration and partnership. As part of our efforts, we actively work with local organizations, community leaders, and government agencies to advocate for policy and legislative reforms that promote the fundamental principles of dignity and equality.
