A 226-mile pilgrimage to Sacramento that started in Fresno a week ago made its way into Modesto on Saturday with a message of solidarity with immigrants living in the Central Valley under the constant fear of deportation.
“The Pilgrimage of Hope” was organized by the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin to increase public awareness of the plight of immigrants and refugees in the Valley, along with raising money for a legal defense fund to help people facing deportation in federal immigration courts.
