'We Can Do Better'

This pilgrimage reminds me of that experience. We are walking — 100 women from all over the country, each with our own story of migration, joy, and hardship — to echo the pope’s message on immigration. Pope Francis is a very influential person who understands that humanity is one body and the world is our home. He knows that separation of families does not fit with that idea. That is why I am walking. I am walking for my family, for families everywhere, and even for all of humanity. Pope Francis can touch the hearts of any person, of any religion, even Congress or President Obama.
