The Case for Asylum in These Less Than United States
(Common Dreams) In late March, I sat in the gallery of the Supreme Court for the first time in my life. Throughout my 30 years of grassroots anti-poverty work, I’ve joined countless protests and vigils outside the Court. In 2018, I was even arrested and held in detention for praying on its palatial steps.
On Friday, August 28, people of faith and conscience gathered for a pilgrimage through New York City - to sing, pray, and march in solidarity with New Yorkers most impacted by the intersecting crises of climate and immigration injustice.
We marched to raise awareness about the harms and injustices of current policies, lifting our voices together in songs of solidarity, justice, hope, and resistance. Across the city, these songs carried a message: we will not be silent, we will not give up, and we will keep showing up til all our people are free.
And the singing doesn’t stop here!
