We will show our support for people of every race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, color, ethnicity, and ability. \n\nHOW:\n- Wear white\n- Wear flowers\n- Bring flowers to give away\n- Bring American flags! \n- Make LARGE white signs with BOLD black letters\n- Signs should be POSITIVE\n- Signs should show what we believe IN\n\nPLEASE visit the FB page and click the "GOING" button if you will come, and come back often for updates.\n\n\nVigil hosted by:\n\nAMAAN Committee of the Arab American Cultural Center--Silicon Valley\nASATA - Alliance of South Asians Taking Action\nAlum Rock United Methodist Church\nAmerican Muslim Voice\nAsian Americans Advancing Justice - Asian Law Caucus\nAsian Americans for Community Involvement (AACI)\nAsian Law Alliance\nBangladeshi American Democratic Coalition \nBay Area Conference of Associates and Religious (BACAR)\nBay Resistance\nBend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice\nBuena Vista United Methodist Church\nCalifornia Immigrant and Religious Community Protection Coalition\nCasa de Clara Catholic Worker\nCenter for New Community\nCoalition for Justice and Accountability\nCongregational Church of Sunnyvale\nCongregation Shir Ami, Castro Valley\nCAIR - San Francisco Bay Area\nCounter-Friction Sunnyvale\nCourage Campaign\nCrisis Response Team (Bay Area Muslim Mental Health Professionals)\nEcumenical Peace Institute/CALC\nEden Area Interfaith Council\nFirst Congregational Church of Palo Alto\nFirst Congregational Church of Palo Alto, UCC\nFirst Congregational Church of San Jose\nFirst Presbyterian Church of Palo Alto\nFirst Unitarian Church of San José\nGreen Party of Santa Clara County\nHealing Flower Energies\nICNA SF Bay Area Chapter\nIndivisible East San Jose\nIndivisible San Jose \nIndivisible Sausalito\nIndivisible South Bay (ISB)\nInterfaith Center at the Presidio\nInterfaith Committee and Social Action Committee, Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Redwood City (UUFRC)\nInterfaith Council of Contra Costa County\nInterfaith Movement for Human Integrity\nInternational Socialist Organization - Northern California\nIslamic Networks Group - ING\nJapanese American Citizens League, San Jose Chapter\nJewish Voice for Peace\nLakeshore Avenue Baptist Church, Oakland\nLos Gatos United Methodist Church\nMeet a Muslim\nMountain View Voices for Peace and Justice\nMultifaith Voices for Peace & Justice\nNAACP Youth Council of the San Jose/Silicon Valley Area\nNIAC\nNihonmachi Outreach Committee (NOC)\nNikkei Resisters\nOFA-East Bay Central\nOrange Alert\nOrganizing For Action, East Bay Central\nOur Developing World\nPangea Legal Services\nPeninsula Peace and Justice Center\nPACT South Bay: People Acting in Community Together\nPriest of The Episcopal Church\nProgressive Action - Mountain View\nRamallah Club of San Jose\nResource Center for Nonviolence\nRISE UP FOR JUSTICE\nSan Jose Dharma Punx\nSan Jose Friday Peace Vigil\nSan Jose/Silicon Valley NAACP\nSan Jose Peace and Justice Center\nSanta Clara County Democratic Club\nSanta Clara County Peace & Freedom Party\nSanta Clara County Wage Theft Coalition\nSanta Clara Valley chapter of the ACLU of Northern California\nServices, Immigrant Rights and Education Network (SIREN)\nShomeret Shalom Global Congregation\nSilicon Valley Interreligious Council\nSilicon Valley Japanese American Citizens League (SVJACL)\nSisterhood of Salaam Shalom\nSomos Mayfair\nSOUTH BAY SANCTUARY COVENANT\nSouth Bay Jewish Voice for Peace\nSt. Jude's Episcopal Church\nSt. Mark's Santa Clara \nSt. Paul's United Methodist Church\nStarr King Unitarian Universalist Church in Hayward\nStand UP!
