June 14, San Francisco: Prayer Vigil – Compassion Has No Walls

Join us Friday June 14th for our monthly Prayer Vigil-Compassion Has No Walls, held outside the ICE building in downtown San Francisco. We gather every month on the second Friday, at ICE Headquarters to give voice to the suffering and abuses that so many working immigrant families are being subjected to.

This month the vigil will be led by Mount Diablo Unitarian Universalist Church, in collaboration with UU Fellowship of Redwood City and UU San Mateo. They will lead us in a ceremony to remember and to uplift the human dignity of so many families that are being separated. Join us as we demand an end to the targeting and incarceration, the deportations, the de-humanizing language and the hate. Come out and let us join our voices together as we elevate the California values of inclusion, welcoming, compassion, and freedom from incarceration.
