At last night's vigil in support of refugees, representatives of Seacoast faith communities (Jewish, UCC, Quaker, Buddhist) personally thanked Senator Shaheen for her opposition to the House bill which calls for halting admission to Syrian and Iraqi refugees. Sen Shaheen wasn't there, but her staff member welcomed us warmly and posed for a photo.
There were about 20 people present at the Dover vigil. Other vigils took place in Nashua and Manchester.
350 NH, Sustainable Portsmouth, NH Sierra Club, NextGen Climate, and the South Church Green Sanctuary will be rallying in support of climate action at the Paris Climate Talks from November 29th - December 11th.
Maybe a group of us to attend together.
