Interfaith Prayer Service in Solidarity with Standing Rock

Start: Tuesday, September 20, 2016 8:00 AM

End: Tuesday, September 20, 2016 9:00 AM

The movement to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline is growing stronger by the day, and it’s time for all of us to rise up and play a role in this fight – no matter where we live.

Join us on Tuesday, September 20 for an interfaith prayer service at Theodore Parker Church at 8am. You can find the Facebook Event page here

In a spirit of solidarity with the protectors at Standing Rock, we will gather on Tuesday, Sept 20 for a time of reflection, sharing, and holding ourselves accountable. At Theodore Parker Church (Unitarian Universalist), we will express our outrage and pain, hold ourselves responsible for our part in the destruction of native lands and ways of life, and commit ourselves to loving action for the protection of sacred land and water.

We invite you to bring a bottle of water with you from wherever you're coming from. The Standing Rock Sioux have reminded us of the sacredness of water, that water is vital to life, and that we as humans have a duty to protect water. We will pool our waters together and give thanks for them during the service.

The West Roxbury Lateral Pipeline, like the Dakota Access Pipeline, is an unnecessary and unwanted piece of fossil fuel infrastructure. We will stand together in resistance to death-dealing systems of climate change. We will stand together to repair, honor, and nurture the land and water that give us life.
