Join the New Sanctuary Coalition Thursday at 11 aam for a special Jericho Walk at 26 Federal Plaza as part of New Sanctuary Coalition’s National day of Action.
Starting at the same time across time zones, groups across the country will organize a peaceful action known as the Jericho Walk. The Jericho Walk is a silent interfaith prayer and act of solidarity. The walk draws inspiration from the Battle of Jericho, in which the community marched around the city of Jericho seven times, causing the city walls to fall.
26 Federal Plaza houses the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices and immigration courts. It is a site of extreme trauma for immigrant communities. Our brothers and sisters come into this building with a real fear that they can be picked up and taken away from their families at any time.
RSVP here. More details: #nationaljerichowalk2018
Following the Jericho walk, there will be an evening vigil at 5:00 pm at 201 Varick Street.
