Day of Remembrance Vigil for Liberation & Sacred Protection

Sign up for our Art Build on Monday, February 23 from 4:00pm – 8:00pm to help prepare art for the Day of Remembrance Vigil!

Available in English and SpanishDownload

This vigil will include prayer, song, and testimony as we stand in solidarity with immigrants and asylum seekers targeted by ICE and recommit ourselves to justice, dignity, and care for all.

Day of Remembrance Vigil

When: Wednesday, February 25
Time: 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Where: ICE Field Office, 630 Sansome Street, San Francisco, CA

We invite you to join us for a public vigil of prayer, singing, and testimony as we honor the Day of Remembrance and stand in solidarity with immigrants and asylum seekers who are being targeted for violence, brutality, and persecution by ICE today. 

More than 80 years ago, 125,000 people of Japanese ancestry were forcibly incarcerated by the U.S. government. On this Day of Remembrance, we gather to honor their lives and resilience—and to recognize how systems of detention and incarceration continue to harm our communities.

We call for liberation, an end to detention and incarceration practices, and we pray for the sacred protection for all our communities.

Multifaith Solidarity Fast to Pray, Protest, and Protect

From Minneapolis to the Bay Area, families and communities continue to face harm and fear as a result of state violence. In response, people of faith across California will join in prayer and fasting in solidarity with those targeted by ICE and federal agents, impacted by detention, family separation, and systemic violence.

This Multifaith Solidarity Fast is an invitation to resist militarism and violence through spiritual practice, collective witness, and public action. Together, we affirm that every person deserves safety, belonging, and freedom from fear, harm, and discrimination.

Learn more about the fast in our Toolkit.
