HAPPENING THIS WEEK

 

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.
