When the United Methodist Board of Church and Society and partner agencies put out the word about a public witness in Washington, D.C., for immigrant rights, they expected maybe a couple hundred people. On Feb. 25, 10 times that number showed up. By airplane, car and bus, United Methodists came from across the United States to stand in solidarity with immigrants and to speak to U.S. lawmakers on their behalf. UM News reporter Lilla Marigza spoke with some participants.
