On March 21, in coordination with Ecumenical Advocacy Days, tens of thousands of people will gather on the West Lawn of the Capitol in Washington, D.C. at 2 pm to send a powerful message to President Obama and to Congress: The time to fix our broken immigration system is now.

People of faith and others who support immigrants and their families will join in the March for America: Change Takes Courage and Faith. The moral urgency of repairing the broken immigration system can only be seen in a dramatic display of unity among supporters of immigration reform as gather in D.C. from all across the United States.

Throughout 2009, people of faith hosted prayer vigils and potluck suppers, met with members of Congress in their home districts, created networks with other faith groups, labor groups, and businesses, building the historic movement for just and humane immigration reform. People of faith have been building this movement in order to meet the fierce urgency of this moment with bold, faithful action. We stand on the edge of making history and now is not the time to step back, give up, or let down. Now is the time to move ahead stronger than we ever have.

The Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns joins many of our colleagues and invites you to come to Washington, D.C. on March 21. Now is the time to make history, to make our voices heard in the White House and on Capitol Hill, and to see just and humane immigration reform finally enacted.
