SUMMARY:Solidarity is Sacred: Good Friday Public Worship & Action for Immigration Justice
DESCRIPTION: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.   \nImmigration 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.  \nDuring Holy Week\, Christians remember Jesus’ death as a confrontation with – and triumph over – the powers of evil. 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).  \nThis initiative is hosted by various organizations devoted to reclaiming the story of Good Friday to stand with our immigrant friends and neighbors. Join us to practice the Stations of the Cross as we seek to be a powerful public witness for Jesus Christ. Read more about the story and theological heartbeat of this initiative here. \nTogether we will pray five of the fourteen stations of the cross: Jesus is condemned to die\, Jesus meets his mother\, Jesus falls for the third time\, Simone of Cyrene helps Jesus carry his cross and Jesus dies on the cross. \nWhile 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. \nAt a time when the public perception of Christianity is often defined by politics or nationalism\, join us for this opportunity to stand in the public square as a visible witness to Jesus’ heart for the vulnerable and oppressed. \nRSVP here: https://bit.ly/goodfriday2026  \nCommunications toolkit is here \n\nCo-Sponsors: \nMassachusetts Communities Action Network (MCAN)\, MA TPS Committee\, Pax Christi Massachusetts\, Southern New England Conference of the United Church of Christ (SNEUCC)\, Catholics in Communion\, UniteBoston\, First Church Somerville\, UCC\, Episcopal City Mission and Center for Public Theology & Migration. \n\n\n\n\nArt: Our art team is busy prepping for our upcoming art builds where we’ll make hand signs and large vertical and horizontal banners to communicate our messaging. Please join us by RSVP-ing here and spread the word: \n\n\nArt Build\, Sunday\, March 29th from 6-9PM at First Church Somerville\, 89 College Avenue\, Somerville. \n\n\nArt Build\, Monday\, March 30th from 6-9PM at First Church Somerville\, 89 College Avenue\, Somerville.
