DESCRIPTION:A public interfaith ritual to give voice to the grief over our loss of 
 faith in our nation’s public institutions and systems, looking toward a 
 resurrection of hope through solidarity and community to strive for the 
 world we imagine.\n\nIn light of the inauguration of a fascist, and in the 
 week that we officially remember the radical legacy of Martin Luther King, 
 Jr., we seek to connect the dreams of our past with the hopes for our 
 future.\n\nThis is a space to bring your grief, your tears, your mourning 
 and anger, and to hold each other in love and healing. Together we will 
 honor our feelings and honor our spiritual practices of hope. There will be 
 chaplains on hand for those who wish to speak with one. \n\nEveryone is 
 encouraged to wear white (or other funeral garb for your tradition) and 
 bring candles for the procession. \nIf you are clergy of any faith, wear 
 garments that signify your affiliation. \n\nThe plan:\n\nGather at Oscar 
 Grant Plaza (14th and Broadway, Downtown Oakland) at 5pm.\n\nProcession at 
 5:30 in a mournful, solemn tone to Interplayce (2273 Telegraph), with stops 
 for prayer and lamentation along the way in places that are historically 
 significant for the movement for black lives and other struggles for 
 justice. \n\nArrive at Interplayce around 6:30 pm for Interfaith Requiem 
 Liturgy. \n\nAbout the organizers:\nWe are an ad-hoc group of seminarians 
 of many faiths studying at the Graduate Theological Union and our friends. 
 We are committed to providing an anti-oppressive spiritual space for people 
 to mourn. We welcome feedback and participation from people of all 
 spiritual and religious backgrounds. We conceived of this liturgy in 
 response to the grief that we and others in our many communities have felt 
 following the election. We would love to hear in the comments section about 
 what you, personally, are mourning and grieving right now.\n
