We are heading to Lutheran Community Services to show them some love, support and gratitude. They are WONDERFUL!
“When unimaginable crises threaten people’s lives and futures, Lutheran Community Services Northwest (LCSNW) offers healing, help and hope. We help vulnerable children, families, refugees and others meet life’s most difficult challenges and thrive in communities that are healthy, just and hopeful.
Our mission is grounded in faith and the ideals of inclusiveness and justice. We respect, serve and advocate for all no matter their religion, ethnicity, sexuality or other personal attributes.
We have nearly a century of experience, recognized expertise and a legacy of success and dedication to serve more than 40,000 people each year across Washington, Oregon and Idaho” (From https://lcsnw.org/about/)
3:30 – 4:30 we will meet at their office for a tour and information about their programs. We will also bring them thank you cards, treats and snacks. If you’d like to bring some (non-homemade) snacks that would be great!
4:30 – 5:30 we will rally in support of Immigrants, Refugees, Survivors and to thank LCSNW. Intersection TBD, will be close by.
PLEASE MAKE SURE RALLY SIGNS ARE POSITIVE! This is VERY IMPORTANT! We will not draw ANY NEGATIVE ATTENTION to LCSNW our immigrant / refugee friends. Keep it kind and classy please. Focusing on Health. Justice. Hope are good themes.
I will bring extra LOVE signs too.
Hang out afterwards also TBD.
As always we follow the PJALS principles of nonviolence https://pjals.org/action/#nonviolence
A core principle behind all events is a commitment to nonviolent action and no civil disobedience. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values, and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
