Vigil Opposing 'Family
Separation' Policy
Thursday, June
21, 7:00 pm
Outside of
Olympia City Hall
Note: Despite
recent developments, the vigil is still on.
A vigil has been organized by Concerned Clergy of Olympia (CCO) and
Interfaith Works in response to the recently implemented federal
policy of separating children from their parents at the US
border.
The following statement has been issued by Concerned Clergy of
Olympia and Interfaith Works:
We, the
members of Concerned Clergy of Olympia and Interfaith Works, stand
opposed to the immoral and harmful practice of “zero tolerance,”
which has resulted in separating children from their parents as part
of the current administration’s approach to immigration policy. We
are particularly troubled by the use of biblical precedent to invoke
support for such practices. Rather we heed the biblical command “the
stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your
citizens; you shall love them as yourself” (Leviticus 19:34), and
call upon our national leaders to end this current policy. We affirm
Olympia’s status as a sanctuary community, and uphold the values of
the Olympia Charter for Compassion, which recognizes the inherent
worth and humanity of all people.
|
|
We invite the greater Olympia
community to a vigil opposed to family separation this Thursday, June
21 at 7:00 pm outside Olympia City Hall.
Clergy and lay members of faith communities, concerned neighbors of
all ages, organizations that advocate for children, immigrants and
refugees, are all welcome. Please feel free to bring signs expressing
peaceful messages. We come together in peace.
