STANDING WITH OUR NEIGHBORS is an interfaith group that supports our Kurdish refugee community, which has been treated unjustly. Four members of their community have been charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with felonies for helping fellow Kurds send money home to needy relatives. Sentencing for three of the men will occur at the U.S. District Court in Harrisonburg's Federal Building on Monday, June 26. We invite everyone to come throughout the day to Court Square & to attend the sentencing in the court. You may park at Blessed Sacrament or Otterbein Methodist Church. We will gather at 10 a.m. in Court Square to "stand with our neighbors" for their sentencing times: Amir at 10:30, Ahmed at 1:30, and Rashid at 2:30. Come and honor our Kurdish neighbors by giving them public affirmation and encouragement!
