Good evening dear friends,
Please excuse us if you are receiving this post for the second time. We are having some technical difficulties with the blog.
We have learned that there will be a Lights for Liberty Vigil not only in Burnaby as outlined in our last post but also in Vancouver.
As with all the Lights for Liberty events, it will take place also on Friday, July 12. It will begin at 7:00 at the Vancouver Art Gallery. According to a media release, they have organized speakers for the first hour or so, then there will be the lighting of candles from 8:00 to 9:00 after which there will be a walk to the Trump Tower. The vigil will be focused on the very difficult conditions in the USA camps. It will also acknowledge the importance of the immediate release of 110 children currently held at Canadian Detention Centres across our nation.
Those of us intending to participate in the Burnaby vigil have decided to attend the vigil in Vancouver. Perhaps we will practice in this way together with other Sangha members.
