"PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) — A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles
from New York City to Washington, D.C., to demonstrate against the Trump
administration’s crackdown on immigrants.

The march extends a long tradition of Quaker activism. Historically, Quakers
have been involved in peaceful protests to end wars and slavery, and support
women’s voting rights in line with their commitment to justice and peace. Far
more recently, Quakers sued the federal government earlier this year over
immigration agents’ ability to make arrests at houses of worship.

Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with
migrants and other groups that are being targeted by President Donald Trump’s
administration."
