Thank you to the 55-60 people who came out for some or all of Sunday night’s Lincoln Witness vigil. We shined the light of liberty on a cold and snowy evening full of community building and learning.
For those who were unable to attend but who were with us in spirit, you can learn more about actions you can take at our website at lincolnwitness.org, where you’ll find information about the De-ICE Hanscom movement, vigils at the Burlington ICE field office where people have been kept for days in poor conditions, and legislation we support.
Please save the date for the upcoming Benefit Concert for Emergency Immigrant Support featuring music by the Honey Steelers on Sunday, Feb. 8. Lincoln Witness and St. Anne’s in the Field’s Social Justice Commission are co-sponsoring the event, with support from the First Parish Lincoln Racial Justice Committee and other generous contributors. We hope you’ll join us!
A special thank you to the Selects, Tim Higgins, and Rod McDonald at the town offices for making the lobby available in case anyone needed to warm up.
Let’s keep shining our lights, Lincoln!
Warmly,
Kim Jalet
