SUMMARY:All-Faiths Prayers for Liberty
DESCRIPTION:Dear Massachusetts Residents of All Faiths: \nYou are invited  to Prayers For Liberty  this Labor Day\, Monday September 1\, 2025. Your physical presence is essential. Your task is to invite your neighbor. Our democracy depends on our common\, public witness. Join us in person on Monday September 1\, 2025. Register for #PrayersForLiberty here. \nTo join any portion of the march and prayers on September 1st\, please register here. \nIf you have questions or would like more information\, our leadership team will host question and response sessions for clergy and other religious leaders over zoom on Thursday\, August 14th\, from 6:00-6:45 p.m. and on Tuesday\, August 19th from 8:30-9:15 a.m. \nA printable flyer and handout to share with friends\, family\, and congregations is available here. \nJoin us on September 1st in our call to religious leaders around the country\, and all our fellow Americans: calling for our President to obey the law and to respect the decisions of our courts and the rights of all American residents. \nWe stand up for deeply American values – due process of law\, constitutional governance\, democracy\, the American vision  of e pluribus unum\, and the aspiration of liberty and justice for all. Our faiths compel us. \nOn Friday\, May 30th\, hundreds of us marched from Lexington to Boston\, reversing Paul Revere’s ride for liberty 250 years ago to sound the alarm for democracy\, as the actions of our current presidential administration regularly violate our shared sacred values and our constitutional rights. We stopped in Lexington\, Arlington\, Cambridge\, and Boston to pray to God for the merciful and just rule of law from our federal administration\, as well as the protection and preservation of our sacred values and democratic principles. We also brought a letter signed by over 300 Massachusetts clergy\, addressed to members of our Congressional Delegation. \nThis Labor Day – Monday\, September 1st\, 9:00-5:00 – to sound the alarm for American democracy and to demand a more just and humane democracy that honors our shared sacred values. This time\, not just clergy\, but ALL people of any faith\, are invited to march and pray together! \nStand together with us please. Register here. Invite a neighbor. Tell your community. \nIn Faith\, Hope\, and Power\, \nThe Prayers For Liberty Organizing Team \nFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ) \nWhat does the schedule look like on Monday\, September 1st? \n9:00 a.m. Hancock Church – parking\, gathering\, greeting \n9:15 a.m. Opening prayer on Lexington Battle Green \n9:45 a.m. Walk from Lexington to Arlington (~5.3 miles) \n12:00 p.m. Prayer in Arlington Center – The lawn at First Parish Unitarian Universalist Arlington \n12:30  Walk to Cambridge Commons (~3.5 Miles) \n2:30 Prayer in Cambridge Center – Cambridge Commons \n3:00 Walk to Boston Commons – 3.1 to 3.2 miles \n5:00 Boston Prayer and Rally at the Common – Embrace Statue or Common Bandstand \nWho can participate in the march?
