Vigil for Immigrant Justice

NEVER AGAIN IS NOW! CLOSE THE CAMPS

A vigil on justice for immigrants will be held, at Pliny Park on Saturday, September 28, 2019, 7:00 p.m. Before the start of the Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, and the High Holy Days, Jews of all traditions and allies are invited gather together in song and prayer
and the spirit of community.

As Jews, we've been taught never to let anything like the Holocaust happen again. Now, with children detained in unacceptable conditions, ICE terrorizing immigrants in every corner of the country, and people dying at the border while seeking safety in the US, we are seeing the signs of a mass atrocity. Join us to voice outrage and share our love and solidarity with families in crisis.

We refuse to wait and see -- we know from our own history what happens when a government targets, dehumanizes and strips an entire group of people of all their civil and human rights.

Many of our ancestors narrowly escaped from conditions we are seeing today in concentration camps at the border and detention centers around the country. We repeated the phrase "Never Again." We learned our history so that we, as Jews, would never allow for this scale of injustice and horror to occur again.

Jews of all traditions, and allies, it is our responsibility to step forward.
