Gather in Community to Ground and Center
Thursdays 12:00 City Hall Steps (Polk Street)
Thursdays from 12-1pm, ground in meditation on the steps of City Hall, in response to the ongoing tragedies, too many to list. But here are a few:
The ICE murder of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse!
The ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three.
The ICE murder, by an off-duty agent, of Keith Porter, a 43-year-old father of two.
The death of Carlos Roberto Montoya, 52-year-old father and grandfather, who was killed fleeing an ICE raid in Monrovia CA.
These are just the latest in a long line of offenses. No more! There have already been too many deaths and atrocities. Let's let our community (and the local government) know we stand for love, not hate!
Augusta Hopkins (she/her), a lay ordained member of Thích Nhất Hạnh's Order of Interbeing, will lead a 20 minute, minimally guided meditation, followed by a supportive gathering to connect, as desired. All who wish to ground in peace are welcome.
