The day will begin at 10AM ET with worship, followed by a prayerful march to the U.S. Capitol and afternoon congressional visits.

As United Methodists, we are called to embody Christ's love by embracing all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, or country of origin. Our denomination is steadfast in its commitment to hospitality, affirming that immigrants, refugees, and asylees are beloved members of God’s family. We are called to advocate for fair and compassionate treatment of all immigrants and migrants, and to cultivate communities where hospitality and welcome are extended to those in our midst.
