Marching in the Footprints of Justice: Faithful Resistance in Washington D.C.

“More than anything, this trip affirmed to me that I’m in the right church with the right people, standing on the right side of history. Because I don’t go to church - I go to Edgehill. May we continue to seek justice, love kindness and walk humbly, together - for immigrants, and for all God’s children.”

As international students (and as a wider immigrant community) we face a new choice, whether to speak up against injustice or to prioritize our personal safety.
