- VIGIL FOR EQUALITY, DIVERSITY, & RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
Date: Friday September 10, 2010, 7:15pm – 10pm
Location: Corner of Church St. and Park Place
On the eve of the 9/11 anniversary, we will join together in support of the American constitutional values of religious freedom, diversity, and equality, and the rights of Muslim Americans to build a community center at 51 Park Place. Please bring candles and American flags, but no signs. We are gathering in peaceful, respectful remembrance and unity. Our program will include music and words of wisdom from faith leaders and elected officials, including special invited guest speaker Congressman Keith Ellison. Please wear white in solidarity and peace. The Interfaith Center is a member of the coalition and we welcome faith communities to participate. The organizers respect the observation of Sabbath and hope that Sabbath observers can join as the event will occur after sunset Friday. For more information, or to join the coalition, please visit nyneighbors.org.
