Dear Beloved Clergy and Faith Leaders,
Dear Faith Partners,
Grace and peace be with you. I am honored to invite you to join us on March 5 in Washington, DC, for an early morning prayer pilgrimage followed by a press conference. On this sacred day, we will simultaneously gather at three revered locations:
• Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial (8:30 a.m.) – Prayer led by Rev. Dr. Beverly J. Goines.
• Lincoln Memorial (9:00 a.m.) – Prayer led by Rev. Amanda He Sled-Voss.
• Roosevelt Memorial (9:00 a.m.) – Prayer led by Rev. Abhi Janamachi.
Clergy are invited to select the site that most resonates with their calling. We also kindly request that each group record their prayers and devotionals and submit the video recordings back to our office, so that our collective witness may be preserved.
After these sessions, we will reconvene at St. Mark’s Church at 10:30 a.m. in preparation for the press conference at 11:00 a.m.
Repairers of the Breach is a national organization that trains moral leaders and builds social justice movements that are rooted in a framework that uplifts our deepest moral and constitutional values.
We invite you to join us on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, at 11:00 AM ET for our National Call for Repentance & Truth-Telling. This sacred gathering unites clergy, faith leaders, and all who champion social justice in a collective stand for moral renewal and truth.
