4:30–6:00pm | Rebuild Sanctuary: A Tisha B’Av Action on Immigration
DHS ICE Boston Field Office, Burlington, MA
Organized by T’ruah, JALSA, and RAC-MA
As we mourn the destruction of the Temples in Jerusalem, times of devastating loss and dislocation for the Jewish people, we call on our leaders to actively resist the federal assault on the dignity, safety and wellbeing of immigrants in our community. We reject the weaponization of Jewish fear into a tool for dismantling civil liberties and instead uphold the tenets of our faith that compel us to protect and stand with marginalized communities. To rebuild sanctuary in the Commonwealth, we ask that our Massachusetts elected officials– including Governor Healey and members of the legislature– do everything in their power to protect immigrants and build a Commonwealth that upholds the dignity and safety of all people.
