In person and online with Soup Sunday to follow. Join Rev. Barbara Prose in exploring the topic of immigrant justice, featuring special guest presenter Keren Rodriguez and music by Susan Randolph.

Keren Rodriguez is a Congregational Organizer and Program Coordinator that seeks to amplify voices of minorities. Her organizing work currently focuses on creating rapid response teams, promote sanctuary faith communities, and support community reintegration of newcomers to Oregon. 

Last year, her organizing led her to partner with Washington County in creating a safe rest village in faith steward land where she serves as a pastor half time in Aloha, Oregon. Her heart for immigrant justice comes from her experience as a first generation Latina. 

Her passion to understand communities has taken her to study at Global studies centered in development in Latin America at Portland State University. Currently, she is working on getting a Masters in Divinity at Claremont School of Theology in CA. Keren brings her experience as a community organizer and ecumenist, while also striving to continue doing anti-racist work, community bridging and belonging. 

Although she keeps busy, her favorite time of the day is with her six-year old daughter Ximena reading folktales from all over the world. You can contact her at keren (AT) imirj.org.
