Saturday, August 15, 7:00pm; Meet at Elizabeth Caruthers Park
A group of Quakers, Buddhists, Jews, and other people of faith are again planning a peaceful interfaith protest at the ICE facility on Macadam Avenue. We will gather at Elizabeth Caruthers Park at 7:00pm and walk silently to the facility. We will walk by the facility three times, in silence, dropping flowers as we go to remember the taken and protest injustice. Then we will return to the park for some worship. The estimated end time is 8:00pm. Please bring at least three flowers, if you wish to drop flowers. This is a completely peaceful protest and no items that could be considered weapons should be brought.
FCNL will be hosting their Annual Meeting November 12-14 in Washington DC. This year it will be both in person and online. This gathering is an opportunity to gather with hundreds of Quakers from across the country to learn about effective lobbying, to hear from FCNL lobbyists and young fellows, and to participate in policy discussions and worship sharing groups. Here is a link for more information and to register for the 2026 Annual Meeting: https://www.fcnl.org/events/annual-meeting-2026-deep-roots-bold-action.
