    Lights for Liberty – Vigil for Immigrant Families

    Baltimore
    Baltimore City Hall     100 Holliday Street, Baltimore, MD

    Immigrants, faith and community leaders, and allies will gather at Baltimore City Hall in support of immigrant families in our city and across the country. Shabbat begins at 8:15 p.m., so as an interfaith gathering we will welcome it in with a traditional candle lighting. Those who choose to will then proceed in a candlelit procession toward a nearby church where we will end with a vigil for all immigrant families and a call to action to end the detention of children and families by ICE and CBP. This event is hosted by JUFJ, CAIR, CASA, and Hopkins Coalition Against ICE.
