Last week, I joined other immigrant, progressive, faith and civil rights leaders on Capitol Hill to bring the voices of tens of thousands of AFSC supporters and others who signed petitions calling on Congress to reject money for Trump’s wall and deadly immigration force. We stood united in our message to re-open the government without funding the wall.

On behalf of Americans Friends Service Committee worldwide, we send our heartfelt condolences to the families that lost their loved ones and all those that were affected in the recent senseless attacks at DusitD4 Hotel on 14 Riverside Drive in Nairobi. Our prayers are with you as you go through these difficult times. We pray for full recovery.
