15.11.25 Welcome Syrian Refugees to Maine Vigil in front of Blaine House

In response to Governor LePage's heartless policy to ban Syrian refugees from entering Maine, over 100 Mainers of all ages and faiths held a vigil in front of the Blaine House in Augusta to welcome Syrian refugees to Maine on 11/25/15 from 12 noon to 1:00 PM. Religious leaders of Jewish, Roman Catholic and Protestant faiths, elected public officials and concerned citizens joined together to tell Governor LePage that his policy toward refugees is mean and misguided. Many vigil attendees spoke of bringing refugees into their homes, faith communities and communities for sanctuary from the oppression and wars the refugees flee.
