Each day participants will walk 10 miles and stop in towns along the way. In the evenings we will hold educational, prayerful or discussion-focused events for all to come to.
The NH Solidarity Walk for Immigrant Justice will kick off Wednesday morning with a brief prayer service at St. Anne- St. Augustin Parrish at 382 Beech Street in Manchester.
