Juan Carlos Ruiz
of New Sanctuary,
2009 Opening Keynoter

JUAN CARLOS RUIZ came to the U.S. over 20 years ago as an undocumented immigrant from Mexico. After years of struggle he became a citizen. He now serves as a Volunteer in the NYC New Sanctuary Movement Coalition, coordinating the outreach and recruitment of congregations in New York and surrounding states. He is also Director of Organizing and Youth Programs at Youth Ministries for Peace and Justice in the South Bronx, creating an infrastructure of young people to actively change the politics of violence and its many faces for a more prophetic, life-giving culture of compassion and love.

The NYC New Sanctuary Movement Coalition is part of the national New Sanctuary Movement. It is an interfaith network of immigrant families, religious congregations, and organizations standing together to publicly resist unjust deportations, to inspire humane public discourse about immigration, and ultimately bring about reform of U.S.- flawed immigration policies.
