Love Knows No Borders

Thank you to the many people and communities across the country who took part in AFSC's nationwide week of action Loves Knows No Borders: A moral call for migrant justice!

On Dec. 10, 2018, more than 400 clergy and people of faith took part in a powerful nonviolent direct action at the border in San Diego – with dozens facing arrest. Many more took part in over 70 marches, vigils, and other solidarity events in communities from Juneau, Alaska to Miami, Florida.

Together, we showed solidarity with the migrant caravans and all who seek refuge in the U.S. And we sent a strong message calling on the U.S. to respect the human right to migrate, end the militarization of border communities, and end the detention and deportation of immigrants.

Watch a video of our Dec. 10 nonviolent direct action below. You can also see coverage in The Nation, NBC News, Associated Press, and Yes! Magazine.

About the Week of Action

Since mid-October, caravans of migrants have been traveling north from Central America through Mexico. The group includes people of all ages, including families and children – many of whom are escaping violence and poverty and seeking asylum in the U.S. and Mexico.

But instead of responding with compassion and humanity, President Trump is portraying migrants as a security threat to advance his anti-immigrant agenda. Trump has deployed thousands of military troops to border communities and attempted to further restrict migrants’ ability to apply for asylum.

In December, more than 400 faith leaders and people of faith from all over the country took part in a nonviolent direct action the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego, California. The event kicked off a week of actions in communities across the U.S., demanding an end to border militarization and calling for humane immigration policies that respect the rights and dignity of all people.
