The practice of sanctuary, with its capacity to provide safety, shelter, and protection to society's most vulnerable, gained significant prominence after the 2016 presidential election and the ushering in of particularly harsh anti-immigration policies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSince 2017, Ohio has had some of the highest numbers of public sanctuary cases in the nation. \u003ci\u003eSanctuary People\u003c\/i\u003e explores these sanctuary practices in Ohio and locates them in broader local and national efforts to provide refuge and care in the face of the challenges facing Latina\/o communities in a moment of increased surveillance, migrant detention, displacement, and economic and social marginalization. Pérez argues for a conceptualization of sanctuary that is capacious, placing support of Puerto Ricans displaced in the wake of Hurricane Maria within the broader practices of sanctuary and expanding our understandings of the movement that addresses the precarious conditions of Latinas\/os beyond migration status. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on four years of ethnographic research and interviews at the local, state, and national levels, \u003ci\u003eSanctuary People\u003c\/i\u003e offers a compelling exploration of the ways in which faith communities are creating new activist strategies and enacting new forms of solidarity, working within the sometimes conflicting ideological space between religion and activism to answer the call of justice and live their faith.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGina M.
