“Why don’t you call it Lighthouse?”

"When envisioning a name or identity for it - we seek to be a beacon of hope for members of community, and hope to light the way home for them. We hope that through the work that we’re doing, in some small way, we’re helping people to find home, and find stability and thrive in West Michigan.

That’s why we’re lighthouse, and that’s why I got into this work."

This September and October, we are focused on empowering our community to take action for immigrants and refugees in West Michigan. We are rallying supporters to build solidarity by uplifting the stories of local families, in a unique radio-thon and social media campaign, Strength in Stories. 

Strength in Stories will be launching a series of book discussions in partnership with  [Herrick District Library](https://www.facebook.com/HerrickDistr...). 

We believe the best way to learn and reflect on the complexities of immigration is through reading and learning the stories and experiences of others. And we believe that the best companion to learning and reflection is action to help.

Join us as we highlight the success and resiliency stories of individuals and families impacted by LIA.
