In response to the rallies being planned by hate groups in our state and nation against Muslims, leaders from many faiths together with politicians and law enforcement will join together to express our solidarity in the face of the fear and hatred that is being spread.
We will gather at the Islamic Association of Greater Hartford (Berlin Mosque) – 1781 Berlin Turnpike, Berlin, CT at 5:30pm on Friday June 9, 2017. Let us live our faith and the call to “Love thy Neighbor,” in all our faiths.
“Action Together Connecticut,” is committed to upholding the ideals of equity, opportunity, and justice for all. We recognize that discrimination against any is discrimination against all; we stand proudly alongside our Muslim neighbors in Hartford and the rest of Connecticut.
We will stand together as one human family, proclaiming the sanctity and dignity of all of God’s creation and the loving, compassionate treatment we all deserve.
There will be a collection for refugees and the needy in the Greater Hartford area in the spirit of being a community that cares.
