Black Church PAC Seeks Pardon for Justice Fighter Ravi Ragbir

By Rev. Dorothy S. Boulware | Word In Black“Despite his tireless service he faces the threat of deportation —a showdown that continues to loom over his life and ministry,” wrote Rev. Cece Jones-Davis, founder of Justice for Julius and a Black Church PAC organizer.(WIB) – Leaders of the Black Church PAC are calling on President Joe Biden to grant a presidential pardon to Ravi Ragbir, a longtime immigrant rights advocate who has spent years navigating the threat of deportation. Now, with an urgent online petition making the rounds, faith leaders and supporters are hoping the White House will hear — and heed — their plea.At the heart of this appeal is Ragbir’s record of championing families and communities at risk of deportation, alongside the question of whether America can live up to its own rhetoric about inclusion, fairness, and redemption. The Black Church PAC — formed in 2022 to harness the political power of faith-based leaders — sees Ragbir as exactly the type of justice fighter who deserves reprieve. His work, they say, aligns with the very values they believe should guide immigration policy and reflect the compassion of the nation.RELATED:& Faith Communities Unite to Address Affordable Housing CrisisRev.
