Jericho Walk at the ICE office in Burlington, MA 1/29/19 at 8 AM

Join us for the monthly Jericho Walk at the ICE office in Burlington, MA. This one is sponsored by the Winchester Unitarian Society and will be co-led by our own Rev. Heather Janules and Cantor Beth Levin of Temple Shir Tikvah. A carpool will be leaving the church parking lot at 7:15 AM sharp. If interested, e-mail marilynmullane@me.com

The Jericho Walk is a silent interfaith prayer and act of solidarity. The walk draws inspiration from the Battle of Jericho, in which the community marched around the city of Jericho seven times, causing the city walls to fall. The Jericho Walk of today is a silent, peaceful, and prayerful walk to bring down the walls of our unjust immigration system and is open to all, regardless of spiritual belief or religious affiliation.

Please bring signs calling for just treatment of those who are caught in our broken immigration system, suggested messages “Keep Families Together”, “No Family Separation”, “Not One More/Ni Una Mas”, “Not In Our Name”. Please refrain from signs explicitly endorsing or condemning any political candidate or official.

On January 29th at 8 AM, we will gather in front of the ICE Office, at 1000 District Avenue, Burlington MA. Meet along District Ave. You can park in the parking lot adjacent to the ICE Office.
