The vigil takes place at the White House on Pennsylvania Ave. NW. Contact Art @ artlaffin@hotmail.com or at 202-360-6416.
47] – There is protest on Fri., Apr. 25 at 2 PM in front of the Chamber of Commerce, 1615 H St. NW. RSVP at https://www.facebook.com/events/613708235390854/. Every day is the perfect time to act for the planet. The US Chamber of Commerce is guilty of putting corporate profits before people, peace, and the planet, and is doing everything it can to stop climate action. Now, the Chamber is trying to push through the Trans Pacific Partnership, a job-killing trade agreement! Tell the Chamber that democracy, people and the planet should take priority over profits!
48] – There is a silent peace vigil on Fri., Apr. 25 from 5 to 6 PM outside the Cathedral of the Incarnation, University Parkway and St. Paul St. The vigil, sponsored by Homewood Friends and Stony Run Meetings, will remind us that War Is Not the Answer. Stop torture.
49] – On Fri., Apr. 25 to Sun., Apr. 27, be at the Second Acts Conference – Mass Incarceration and Jim Crow. The first Christians embodied a counter-cultural discipleship marked by their trust in each other and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The church described in the book of Acts was a living vessel, animated by a palpable connection to God, issuing the love of Jesus in practical ways to each community, household and heart. That way of being continues into our own era with resurrection power and Spirit-led faith. It is named for a book of Scripture as yet unwritten: The Second Book of Acts. It will claim anew the Easter resurrection of Jesus! People of faith will gather from Friday evening through Sunday morning to reflect on the life of Christian discipleship, and the intersection of discipleship and the world’s injustice. Mass incarceration will be a key focus. If you are not able to pay the full cost, be in touch about a reduced rate. Register at. http://www.becomingchurch.org/second-acts-conference/.
