IMPORTANT DATE CHANGE!!

REAFFIRMING SANCTUARY
~ PRESS CONFERENCE
~ PROCESSION
~ INTERFAITH VIGIL Commemorating the 83rd Day of Remembrance
Wednesday, February 19, 11am-1:15pm
San Francisco

We gather to reaffirm sanctuary, a sacred tradition across many faiths of welcoming immigrants and standing against actions that would tear families and communities apart.

After proclamations of sanctuary, we will proceed to historic Japantown, a community that, in 1942, was torn apart by government policies that separated families and forced the relocation and incarceration of Japanese immigrants and their U.S. citizen children.

Through interfaith prayer and ritual, we will honor their legacy and uplift sanctuary as a sacred practice of protection and solidarity for immigrant communities targeted today.
