PRAYERS FOR LIBERTY PRAYER VIGIL! - August 3
We are gathering interfaith communities for #PrayersForLiberty vigils in Lexington, Cambridge and Boston and several other towns and cities in the Commonwealth on Sunday, August 3rd at 3:00 pm. All are welcome to come to a vigil or to host a vigil in your town or city. Our guide to hosting a vigil is available here: Prayers for Liberty - August 3. It is very easy - you and one other faith leader in your community can still make this happen! And save the date -  We are marching again on Labor Day, September 1st, from 9:00 - 5:00. And this time we invite as many lay people as possible to join clergy for all or part of the walk from Lexington to Boston. Plan on joining us! Keep an eye out for more communication from our team throughout the summer, as we seek to lift our voices and pray with our feet for a better witness to our shared sacred values and the renewing of our commitments to just democracy!
