Statement: Standing Together for Justice and the Protection of Immigrant Communities

Statement from Brookline Interfaith Clergy: Standing Together for Justice and the Protection of Immigrant Communities January 28, 2026 As faith leaders in Brookline, we stand together at a moment of deep moral urgency. We stand with our immigrant neighbors, and we stand against injustice wherever it occurs. We stand together, fearful for the soul of our country, and yet we commit ourselves to act — to fight for a world where human dignity is honored, and all are safe. We start here in Brookline, recommitting to: caring for our neighbor, protecting the vulnerable, welcoming the visitor, practicing compassion, justice, and loving-kindness. These are not abstract ideals — they are the core teachings of the world’s great religious traditions and the lived expression of genuine faith.

Standing Up for Racial Justice June 5, 2020 As people of faith, we are outraged, horrified, and deeply saddened by the murder of George Floyd, yet another African-American man, who was the victim of brutality at the hands of those who are called to “protect and serve.” We stand with the tens of thousands of peaceful American protesters expressing pain, anguish and anger in these last days, demanding that justice be served, that police brutality against people of color be ended, and that racial discrimination in our country be no more. We say: “Enough is enough.” For many of us, outrage and frustration is not only our response to the Minneapolis murder and other recent incidents; it is also a re-awakening of rage against the institutional racism that is the “original sin” of American society, and manifests itself in so many ways, including longstanding violence against black people; historical poverty and blight in the African-American community; a corrupt system of mass incarcerat...
