#OccupyHart: Hundreds of styrofoam plates in the air, each one with a different message like “feed our feds” and “let me work.”

We wore stoles, prayer shawls, yarmulkes, etc.; they wore riot gear.
Our faith is our power.

Grateful for the opportunity to stand in solidarity with asylum seekers today. We will continue to pray with our feet...

I've seen a lot of faith-based protests, and been to the border with faith delegations twice myself. I've never seen anything like this. Not your average demonstration, confronting Border Patrol is putting yourself in serious danger. #LoveKnowsNoBorders

The migrants at our southern border include mothers and small children exercising their legal, human right to seek asylum.

Tear gassing children is outrageous and inhumane, @CBP.
