As Faith Leaders and Leaders of Conscience of Eastern Washington and North Idaho, we reach out to our fellow citizens to stand united against the violence that took place at the United States Capitol on Jan. 6.

About half of our country has over looked cruelty, lies, authoritarianism, white supremacy, and Christian Dominionism to vote for candidates who promise them wealth and power. We must say, “Stop It!”

The motto of our country is “Out of Many, One” or in the Latin “E pluribus Unum." The suffering of our time has exposed that we are not one.

The Faith Leaders and Leaders of Conscience of Eastern Washington and North Idaho (FLLC) have begun Grieving Together Vigils that will be held from 6 - 6:30 p.m each Tuesday throughout October.

Fear reduces our ability to think for ourselves and is an effective way to create solidarity against our neighbors.
