A 1700 miles pilgrimage along the Mexico-U.S. border with Ron Byler
In January 2020, Ron Byler, then the executive director of MCC U.S., began a pilgrimage along the southern U.S. border. Ron drove and walked along the border wall and the Rio Grande and visited communities on both sides of the border. In this episode of On The Move-En Movimiento, we talk to Ron about his experience and the feeling that served as a catalyst for this pilgrimage. Ron tells us "Like the prophet Habakkuk, I can no longer sit in silence in the face of injustice." Listen to this episode of On The Move-En Movimiento and join Ron along the Mexico-U.S. borderlands. Hear about the communities, the people and what this pilgrimage has meant for him.
