Community Invited To Candlelight Vigil 7 PM Wednesday July 2 At Ashley Pond Park To Support Immigrants
By Rabbi Jack Shlachter
Los Alamos Jewish Center
A number of faith communities in Los Alamos have been working together to organize a candlelight vigil at Ashley Pond at 7 p.m. MDT on Wednesday, July 2, to raise awareness about the plight of refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants in our country and reaffirm our identity as a nation that welcomes immigrants and thrives because of them.
This date was chosen because it falls between June 6, the anniversary of the date that the MS St. Louis was turned away from US shores in 1939 and July 6, the day in 1798 that the Alien Enemies Act was signed.
