February 16, 2025 Minute of Support for PYM
London Grove Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends is in unity with the decision of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting et al. to join the lawsuit to block the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in its sudden policy shift. This shift would enable federal immigration agents to enter places of worship for their immigration enforcement actions.
We affirm that you have acted on our behalf. To exercise our Basic Right to Religious Freedom we believe people who wish to worship together must feel safe to do so without fear of violence or threat of deportation. We regard places of worship as sanctuaries for body, mind, and spirit and commend your efforts to maintain them with the aforementioned legal action.
With gratitude
London Grove Monthly Meeting
