Bethesda Jewish Congregation, Adat Shalom, Hill Havurah, The Jewish Studio, Am Kolel, Fabrangen Havurah, and JUFJ will come together for a Friday Night Shabbat service.
Immigrants, faith and community leaders, and allies will gather at Baltimore City Hall in support of immigrant families in our city and across the country. Shabbat begins at 8:15 p.m., so as an interfaith gathering we will welcome it in with a traditional candle lighting. Those who choose to will then proceed in a candlelit procession toward a nearby church where we will end with a vigil for all immigrant families and a call to action to end the detention of children and families by ICE and CBP. This event is hosted by JUFJ, CAIR, CASA, and Hopkins Coalition Against ICE.
Come meet our Campaign for Justice, Safety and Jobs coalition partners in this town hall on the Baltimore Police Department consent decree. Learn what that means, how it is being implemented, what changes we can expect and how to get involved.
ICE is terrorizing our immigrant communities, and people who are seeking a better life in the U.S. are dying at the hands of ICE and BPD agents. We are rallying to demand that these horrors cease. As part of the #NeverAgainAction and #JewsAgainstICE movements, Jews are shutting down ICE because when we say never again, we mean it.
