An Invitation to Witness:
The Livermore-Pleasanton Interfaith Clergy Association declares our solidarity with those who suffer from the effects of systemic racism and implicit bias, especially African Americans.
We stand especially with individuals and communities affected by police brutality as well as individuals and communities disproportionately affected by the novel coronavirus and its societal and economic effects.
As a witness to this solidarity, we invite all members of the Livermore community to come out of their places of residence at 7:30 pm on Thursday, June 4th, and be visible from the street.
People are encouraged to light candles and maintain a posture of kneeling on one knee for five minutes as well as offer prayers and other expressions of solidarity.
