We have Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Red Letter Christians, Unitarian, and people not of faith but who believe in a moral universe coming together at the border today, not for our own agendas but for the immigrant children and families who are facing injustice. #MoralMonday

We’ve come to arrest the attention of the nation. When they change their tactics, we will change our tactics. We will take the border to the nation’s capitol. #MoralMonday

We are here in unity with local leaders who invited us. We have seen just a glimpse of the horrible conditions our immigrant neighbors are facing at the border. #MoralMonday

We have come to bring the attention of the nation to the border. We demand full congressional hearings on what is happening right now. We are asking for a pastoral visit at the detention facility with the people who are on a hunger strike.

We are leaving the Borderlands, emboldened in our resistance to an unjust government & its policies that are unconstitutional & immoral against immigrants & asylum seekers. We will take the border to the capitol, and we will be back here again! #ForwardTogether #MoralMonday
