This Good Friday, April 3rd at 4PM, in downtown Boston, Christians and people of faith will gather in prayer and protest in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors. Episcopal City Mission is a co-sponsor of this event/
Immigration enforcement tactics have long threatened the safety of our neighbors. But in this moment of authoritarian breakthrough, state violence is intensifying, causing fear and outrage in our communities.
During Holy Week, Christians remember Jesus’ death as a confrontation with – and triumph over – the powers of empire. Jesus's crucifixion was God's ultimate act of solidarity with persecuted people — an act that calls us into radical solidarity with the crucified people of today. Through story, ritual and song, we will lament the violence against our immigrant neighbors, demand the abolition of ICE, and hear again God’s call to loose the bonds of injustice and set every captive free (Isaiah 58:6). From the cross to the detention center, all state violence must end.
While this action is based in the Christian tradition and practice of the stations of the cross, people of all faiths and no faiths are welcome and encouraged to attend.
