Spiritual Friends Sangha invites you to a weekly gathering:

Pro Peace Vigil
Thursdays in January, 12:00 City Hall Steps (Polk Street)
 
Together we will ground in meditation on the steps of City Hall, in response to the ongoing tragedies, too many to list.

The January ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of 3, in Minneapolis, is just the latest in a long line of offenses. Not one more! There have already been many deaths and atrocities.

Let's let our community (and the local government) know we stand for love, not hate!

Augusta, a lay ordained member of Thich Nat Hanh's Order of Interbeing, will lead a 20 minute, minimally guided meditation, followed by a supportive gathering to connect, as desired. All who wish to ground in peace are welcome.

Renee Nicole Good is just the next person in a line of folks who have been killed by ICE. These are the names of deaths that ICE reports for last year alone, and it does not include Carlos Roberto Montoya who was killed fleeing an ICE rain in Monrovia CA:
