Overview

“Love our neighbors the way we love ourselves” is the mantra of Sarah Jackson, founder of Casa de Paz, a volunteer-run shelter for immigrants who have just been released from detention. Since 2012, Jackson has created a nurturing home for new arrivals to the U.S., many of whom are seeking asylum from dangerous situations. As our nation’s immigration policies continue to tear families apart, Jackson’s Casa de Paz provides a dose of TLC and encouragement to weary detainees.
