Stacey Merkt (born 1954) is an American human rights activist imprisoned for her work on behalf of the Sanctuary movement. In 1984 she became a controversial national figure for helping migrants from El Salvador seek refuge in the United States. Beyond the political moment of her arrests and later incarceration, New York Times reporter Robert Reinhold called her, "...something of a symbol in the conflict between the Federal Government and the growing movement among American churches to aid undocumented aliens..." In the book Sanctuary: The New Underground Railroad, Renny Golden, who founded The Religious Task Force on Central America, and Michael McConnell called her "...the first modern railroad conductor arrested...". Amnesty International adopted her cause, calling her a "prisoner of conscience."
