Pilgrimage for a Better Future: From the Heartbreak of Immigrant Detention to Thriving Communities
Pilgrimage launch at San Quentin State Prison
From May 28th – June 1st, 2022, a group of about 40 pilgrimage participants traveled from the California Bay Area to California's southern border and rallied with local communities at 7 facilities detaining immigrants (or having a relationship with ICE) along their route. The participants were composed of community members who have been detained, faith leaders, and leaders in the movement to transform carceral systems.
In addition to the 7 detention facilities*, the journey included visits with people who shared the experiences of Japanese internment during WWll. Also, a visit to a Sikh temple to hear from someone who advocates for and provides support for immigrants coming from India.
This pilgrimage was organized by the Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity and the Dignity Not Detention- California coalition.
