Interfaith March for Peace, Justice, and Religious Freedom

4 Past Events Sponsored by our Partners

At  VCIC, we agree with the organizers of the Peace and Justice March when they declare:

1. We believe that all people should be free to practice their faith without fear of  discrimination, intimidation, or reprisal.
2. We believe that multiple religions can coexist peacefully and contribute to the common good.
3. We believe that equal justice and equal protection under the law are rights to which all people are entitled regardless of race.
4. We believe that the government of every state and of our great nation should protect those who are most vulnerable and never fail to seek justice for acts of violence perpetrated against minorities by those who claim superiority or dominance.
If you agree with these propositions and would like to make your voice heard, please consider joining us for a nationwide march on April 29. For details, please click on the attached INTERFAITH MARCH POSTER.
