The
congregation is invited to join with members of the Racial Justice Coalition,
Community to Community, Latino Advocacy and other organizations representing
people of color to a demonstration in front of City Hall on Monday January 16th from 12 pm to 1 pm MLK
Day. The City will be holding its MLK Day activities inside City Hall and
this demonstration will happen outside. The reason for the demonstration is to
increase awareness about the importance of Bellingham becoming a Sancutary City
for undocumented people, to end racial profiling by the police, and to
implement a citizen review board of the police. Many City leaders have resisted
these ideas or claimed they are not necessary, hence the importance of
expressing publicly how critically they are needed. Questions? Contact Kara
