As South Carolinians, we pride ourselves on hospitality. Especially at a time when some politicians want to harm, demonize, and exclude immigrants, it is important to show our hospitality and solidarity with immigrant communities.

During the week of Feb. 23-27, we will join local activists, communities of faith, and ordinary people expressing a common theme: Immigrants Are Welcome Here. Please join us at an event.
