Hundreds of religious leaders demand Trump and his enablers 'repent of their sins' -- right outside of the White House

"We must show up in person to deliver a prophetic indictment. "

Hundreds of interfaith leaders stood ready to face arrest outside the White House on Wednesday where they delivered a "moral indictment to an immoral administration."

The march and rally, dubbed Moral Witness Wednesday, was organized to denounce the President Donald Trump administration's cruel and unjust policies including the detaining of migrant children and attacks on healthcare access. Rev. Dr. William Barber and Rabbi Arthur Waskow, director of the Shalom Center, initially conceived of the action, organizations say.

In a tweet ahead of the protest, Barber, who's also president of social justice group Repairers of the Breach and a co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, explained the motivation for the action: "Jeremiah 22 tells us that when political leaders abuse their office & hurt the poor, we must show up in person to deliver a prophetic indictment. Now is the time. Join us June 12."

Other religious leaders taking part include Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign; Imam Al-Hajj Talib 'Abdur-Rashid, Ameer/president of The Muslim Alliance in North America; and Rabbi Esther Lederman, director of Communities of Practice and Congregational Innovation for the Union of Reform Judaism.
