Reaffirming Sanctuary: Press Conf~Procession~Vigil

REAFFIRMING SANCTUARY
~ PRESS CONFERENCE
~ PROCESSION
~ INTERFAITH VIGIL Commemorating the 83rd Day of Remembrance
Thursday, February 13, 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.

Thurs. February 13th | 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM

11:00 AM: Interfaith Sanctuary Press Conference | St. Mark’s Lutheran Church (1111 O’Farrell St., San Francisco)

11:45 AM: Procession | Japantown

12:15 PM: Interfaith Vigil commemorating the 83rd Day of Remembrance | Christ United Presbyterian Church (1700 Sutter St., San Francisco)
