On Wednesday, October 21, we will begin a 4-day pilgrimage from Springfield to the Capitol in Columbus to elevate our response to attacks on the Haitian community in Ohio and across the nation.

Will you join us? You can walk with u for 1 day or for all 4. Please let us know your plans on this form.

We walk the national road to Columbus as an embodiment of the choice we have as a nation: Do we embody welcome, love of neighbor and stranger, mercy, and justice? Or do we go the way of isolation, fear, and dehumanization?

We choose love of neighbor.

The pilgrimage will begin at 8 am on Wednesday, October 21 at Springfield City Plaza and end at 1 pm on Saturday, October 24 in Columbus (location TBD).

The Haitian community has 4 demands, which we carry to the statehouse: 

1. Officially end ankle monitor program.
2. ICE out of Springfield.
3. Return Haitian people in detention to their families, including pastors.
4. Permanent Protected Status for Haitian People.

Register here and we will provide you with more information. Thank you for your solidarity.
