WHO WE ARE
A Coalition of Faith Communities & Local Activists
We believe that if our country will not be a sanctuary, and our state will not, then we have to make our neighborhoods safe for all of us, one by one. Action Potluck/Sanctuary Neighborhoods in Washington Heights, New York City, is a coalition of grassroots activists in collaboration with our local Houses of Worship working to keep our diverse communities safe and whole. The situation is constantly changing, but our goal is clear: to provide direct support to harmed families by building up communities up around them.
​
“If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time.
But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine,
then let us work together.”

QUIENES SOMOS
Una coalición de activistas locales y comunidades religiosas
​
Creemos que, si nuestro país no será un santuario, y nuestro estado no lo será, entonces tenemos que hacer que nuestros vecindarios sean seguros para todos, uno por uno. Action Potluck / Sanctuary Neighborhoods en Washington Heights, Nueva York, es una coalición de activistas de base en colaboración con nuestros santuarios locales que trabajan para mantener a nuestras diversas comunidades seguras y completas. La situación cambia constantemente pero nuestro objetivo es claro: brindar apoyo directo a familias perjudicadas mediante la construcción de comunidades a su alrededor.
​
“Si has venido a ayudarme estás perdiendo el tiempo.
Pero si has venido porque tu liberación está ligada a la mía,
entonces trabajemos juntos.”
