It was powerful to be with the Caravan of Empathy Sunday and Monday of this week. (See the post before this one to get what it is, if you haven't seen it yet).

We heard even more about the plight of farm workers, their great fear--a well founded one--and the reality of the threats of deportations, and the actual raids of ICE on farms in New York (and throughout the country). Many have already been removed from their farms and detained, leaving families behind that are grieving and dealing with even more dire economic hardships. The fear that migrant workers are facing is terrible and considerable, keeping them from going out for basic things like grocery shopping and essential medical care. How painful and disheartening.

That isn't the whole story, though. The witness of people from many walks of life, many faith communities and advocates was very heartening. Justice workers shared their determination and their hope in no uncertain terms. It was great to do a small act of standing for welcome and safety for the people who put food on the table--and to acknowledge the necessity of pushing back against policies that are no less than death dealing.

The caravan also visited places like nursing homes to highlight that they, too, are dependent on migrants' work--caring for people at home and in facilities...and that's not all.

Thanks to Rural and Migrant Ministries for organizing and coordinating the events throughout the state.

There is still time for you to make a difference through presence and prayer! The caravan goes on through Saturday, and if you close to one of the places they pass through, you can join. See the post before this one for the website to RMM and check it out.

(I took lots of pictures, but unfortunately only got permission to share the one that is with this post. This one was taken in front of the New Connections Methodist Church in New Paltz, NY. For more you can go to the Rural and Migrant Ministry website as they post what is happening.

God bless you--and all of us all and teach us mercy!
