Noon Today: Join a Human Circle of Protection Near You!

Human Circles of Protection
Human Circles of Protection

On Nov. 16, 2011, at 12 p.m. (Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific time zones) faith leaders, parishioners, advocates, community lead-ers, and their constituents will come together to join hands and create human circles around agencies and programs at risk of deep budget cuts in the supercommittee and appropriations processes.

The Circles will form in towns and cities across the country at 12 noon in every U.S. time zone. Through this rolling national action, people of faith will signal to the congressional super committee and all congressional representatives that the nation’s budget must not be balanced on the backs of “the least of these” (Matthew 25:40).

We've got 5 flagship Circles in New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Orange County and Portland. Below are locations for each circle (each will happen at noon local time). For more information, email Karla Vasquez.
