Abstract
This essay pulls data from a larger research project exploring the tactics of interfaith organizing to end immigration detention and deportation in the state of California, utilizing a long-term participatory methodology named as activist accompaniment as research (Arriaga-Hernandez and Argenal 2022). The research shares how one organization, Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity, is investing in a long-term movement to shut down detention facilities in the state, and walk with families impacted by deportation. Utilizing abolition as a theoretical frame, the research pulls themes to demonstrate how the organization is not only looking at protection from harmful immigration systems, but also the abolition of specific structures of harm and how communities can heal and move forward in new ways. This essay focuses on one key tactic, that of pilgrimage.
