DUE TO EXPECTED HEAVY RAIN THIS WEEK, WE ARE POSTPONING TO NEXT WEEK - WED, FEB 19!

Please RSVP to join us on Wed, Feb 19th! If you already filled this out for last week, please RSVP again if you can join us Feb 19th! If you can no longer make it, let us know that below too. 

We gather to reaffirm sanctuary, a sacred tradition across many faiths of welcoming immigrants and standing against actions that would tear families and communities apart.

After proclamations of sanctuary, we will proceed to historic Japantown, a community that, in 1942, was torn apart by government policies that separated families and forced the relocation and incarceration of Japanese immigrants and their U.S. citizen children.

Through interfaith prayer and ritual, we will honor their legacy and uplift sanctuary as a sacred practice of protection and solidarity for immigrant communities targeted today.

Wed. Feb 19th | 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM

11:00 AM: Interfaith Sanctuary Press Conference | St. Mark’s Lutheran Church (1111 O’Farrell St., San Francisco)

11:45 AM: Procession | Japantown

Global Climate Action Summit

Global Climate Action Summit  - San Francisco
Sept 12-14.  Videos and more.

https://globalclimateactionsummit.org/about-the-summit/

Climate change is real, it is caused by human activity, and it is having devastating effects around the world and here at home in the United States.

Rising temperatures in the Gulf have strengthened hurricanes such as Harvey in 2017, and have exacerbated the Red Tide to extreme levels, killing wildlife and impacting communities and businesses down the Florida coastline.

In California, global warming has resulted in higher temperatures and less rain causing devastating wildfires to spread at an alarming rate, burning 1.4 million acres in 2018 alone. The raging Mendocino Complex has now become the largest fire in the state's history, burning 450,000 acres.

Stronger and more erratic storms, rising sea levels, extreme heat around the world – the impacts of global warming and the climate crisis are not going to go away. We must come together to force the change that our planet needs.

This Saturday, September 8th, join the Rise for Climate, Jobs & Justice at one of the thousands of rallies in cities and towns around the world to call for a fast and fair transition to 100% renewable energy. Sign up for an event in your city today, and join the movement.
