All relatives are invited to walk in love, prayer, and collective protection of our families and our immigrant communities under attack for the 2nd Annual “Immigrant” Justice Prayer Walk. We will begin at St. Luke’s in Ballard and walk 2.5 miles, stopping at Commodore Park for a Coast Salish water ceremony and finishing at Daybreak Star for food and cultural sharing. The diocese is honored to be an event sponsor and part of the organizing coalition of indigenous, environmental, and other community-centered groups. Let’s show up for our communities under threat! Join for any part! Read more about the walk here [hyper link: https://allmyrelations.info/home].
Tangible Solidarity Invitation **bolded**
As a part of the All My Relations coalition hosting the prayer walk, the diocese has been invited to lead the snacks/water provisioning. Last year, this walk drew over 250 people and we want to offer some tangible hospitality for the journey! We plan to fill and pull 3-5 wagons with water, snacks, and first aid throughout the walk. We have 2-3 wagons so far and could use a few more! We also need additional donations and volunteers to help pull the wagons. Suggested donation items: water (bonus points for less plastic options!), granola or protein bars, trail mix, chips, shareable fruit like tangerines or bananas, etc.
If you’re interested in contributing as an individual or as a church, please email Jessica Thompson at hopesclan@gmail.com by 5/11. Financial support also goes a long way to support the safety and food costs for this event. Donate at the website above.
