Dear friends<\/p>\n

On Thursday at our regular Sangha gathering<\/strong> we will have an opportunity to practice with our understanding of what is happening in the United States’ detention\/concentration camps for children and for adults. There are many sources of information concerning this. A few are included below. Information about the sponsoring group is also below. <\/p>\n

On Friday, July 12<\/strong> there will be a vigil in Burnaby. As far as we know, there is nothing planned (yet) for Vancouver. Please attend if you can. If you have a vehicle that could provide carpooling to this event, please let us know.<\/p>\n

Here are some links (although most news outlets are carrying some coverage).<\/p>\n

The organizing group is LIGHTS FOR LIBERTY and you can find information about them below:<\/p>\n

Our Mission
\nWe are a coalition of people, many of whom are mothers, dedicated to human rights, and the fundamental principle behind democracy that all human beings have a right to life, liberty and dignity.<\/p>\n

We are partnering with national, regional and local communities and organizations who believe that these fundamental rights are not negotiable and are willing to protect them.<\/p>\n

On Friday July 12th, 2019, Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Detention Camps, will bring thousands of Americans to detention camps across the country, into the streets and into their own front yards, to protest the inhumane conditions faced by refugees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
