freedom has inspired."

- Robert F. Kennedy

PLEASE JOIN NEW YORK NEIGHBORS FOR AMERICAN VALUES

CANDLELIGHT VIGIL

Friday, September 10

7:15 pm (sundown)

Meet at the intersection of Church Street and Park Place

On the eve of the 9/11 anniversary, we will join together in
support of the American constitutional values of religious
freedom, diversity, and equality, and the rights of Muslim
Americans to build a community center at 51 Park Place.

Please bring candles and American flags, but no signs. We are
gathering in peaceful, respectful remembrance and unity. Our
program will include music and words of wisdom from faith
leaders and elected officials. Please wear white in
solidarity and peace.

Everyone is welcome. Please invite your friends and
neighbors, and distribute!

About the date: If you cannot join us because of Eid, Rosh
Hashana, Shabbat or other reasons, please wear white the
evening of September 10 in solidarity with the core American
values of religious freedom, diversity and equality.
