The Pinellas/Hillsborough Interfaith Coalition, LWVSPA, and our allies host a peaceful Freedom Vigil to stand in solidarity with immigrant families and demand an end to the detention and deportation of our nonviolent, law-abiding immigrant community neighbors, siblings, and friends. These vigils shine a light on the erosion of due process and the rise of authoritarian overreach. We pray for family reunification and justice for all immigrants. Together, we affirm that justice, compassion, and the rule of law must apply to everyone—regardless of immigration status.
