Prayer Vigil for Lorenzo and Johan

On July 7, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Houston while driving a work van with his crew. He was 52 years old.

On July 13, ICE fatally shot 26-year-old Johan Sebastian Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine. He was 25 years old. His wife and toddler witnessed his murder.

Dear Friends,

Please join our multi-faith vigil to honor Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Johan Sebastian Guerrero and all those who have lost their lives to ICE — and to demand accountability. Both men were beloved members of their communities, killed on their way to work.

Our vigil is part of a nationwide call to hold compassion for their families, coworkers, and communities in prayer and to tell the truth about their killings. We must demand Justice for Lorenzo. Justice for Johan. Justice for All.

Time:   2:30 to 5 pm

Place:  DeWitt Park, Ithaca

Date:   Saturday, July 25th.

The Rev. Dr. Jason R. Churchill of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church will welcome people at 3:00 pm. Speakers from local civic organizations and faith groups are scheduled throughout the afternoon with music by the Resistance Choir.

Many people will be marching from the Bernie Milton Pavillion where there is an ICE OUT rally from noon until 2 pm.

Please join us!
