We Are One Human Family -Sept 15th Vigil Update

I hope everyone is enjoying this lovely summer weather.

I wanted to post a quick update on the planning and the status of the Sept 15^th “We Are One Human Family” Children’s Vigils for immigration reform that will be taking place throughout NJ.

So far we have seven confirmed locations. They include:

§ Bridgeton

§ Highland Park

§ Hightstown

§ Jersey City

§ Keyport

§ Morristown

§ Newark

We have three additional locations that are in the works including:

§ Camden

§ Freehold

§ Summit

Our goal is to have ten vigils throughout the state, but the more the better.

If you are a leader or a member of a local group please consider holding a local vigil. We have resources and we will support your efforts.

Current available resources:

§ Interfaith Prayer Service (Abrahamic Traditions)

§ Christian & Catholic liturgy and prayer suggestions

§ Speaker/VIP invitation letter

§ Vigil flyers in English and Spanish

§ Fact sheet/talking points on impact of immigration system on children and families

Resources to be available soon:
