One Year Anniversary of the Jericho Walk in Milwaukee

9:00 a.m. Thursday, April 25th

310 East Knapp Street

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

In April of 2018, then Sanctuary Coordinator, Shana Harvey, introduced the idea of a weekly Jericho Walk, patterned on the New York City Sanctuary Coalition’s weekly protest outside the detention center in New York City.

Members of diverse faith groups joined the weekly silent protests in front of the office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).  They brought their banners and their walking shoes to stand against the separation of families on the border as well as in our communities in Wisconsin.

To celebrate the anniversary of one year of weekly protests, the New Sanctuary Movement and its coalition of faith groups will invite all faith

groups to join in the Jericho Walk on Thursday, April 25th at 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.  

We will extend our walk as needed.  These past months the walk has extended from about the southern  end of the ICE building to the northern end. 

There will be free hot and cold drinks provided by food trucks from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.  Let’s make this the most robust Jericho Walk of the year.

The address of the ICE building, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is 310 East Knapp Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The Jericho Walks take place every Thursday morning, 9:00 a.m. at the ICE building.
