Footage from the 2019 NH Immigrant Solidarity Walk. Spanning 4 days and crossing 36 miles, activists trek from Concord, NH to Dover, NH where the Strafford county jail serves as an overflow immigrant detention center for the federal government. Garret documents events on Day 1 of the march, starting at the South Congregation Church in Concord, heading to the federal office and courthouse building nearby, passing the NH state house, stopping for lunch near Cole Gardens, and wrapping up the day's walking near the Chichester town offices. The walk begins with a rainy start, which does little to dampen enthusiasm from committed peace and justice activists. Speakers critique actions and tactics of ICE employees, including suspicionless checkpoints, raids, and custodial mistreatment. Supporters driving by honk and wave at the passing crowd, distinguished by their yellow vests.
