APV Policy Director Scott Price represented our organization today at a press conference to announce the first public act of sanctuary granted by a religious denomination in Virginia for a family fleeing persecution and facing arrest and deportation here. Many thanks to the large, ecumenical cross section of religious leaders and the other organizations in this coalition who stood together today. Special thanks to the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Richmond who are providing physical sanctuary going forward. And lastly, thank you Abby and your family for allowing us to be a part of your lives. We are humbled by your courage.
“Each generation is called to judgement by history, so far ours hasn’t made much of an accounting of ourselves. We are faced with a cynical, corrupt and morally bankrupt administration that seems to have no floor to its behavior. We are asking our fellow citizens to stand up against this incompetent, childish tyrant. We know which side we’re on, do you? Join us… be counted.”Scott Price, speaking to reporters after the Wednesday Press Conference.
