Join The Beacon for Thursday Shine the Light, as we bring our voices to the street every Thursday from 5:30-6:00 PM.
Each week, we make our voices heard wherever we are. As beacons, we shine light by making a sign and bringing it outside—in front of our houses, apartment buildings, to our street corners, subway stops, etc. There are Beacon groups all over America; our local group meets at the corner of Bond St. & Grace Ave., across from the Great Neck Diner.
Our signs proudly share whatever we’re feeling in our souls in the face of this regime’s actions. Our signs might read, “I Stand With Our Immigrant Neighbors,” or “Honk if You Love Ukraine,” or “Trans Rights Are Human Rights,” or “Read Banned Books.” We encourage a POSITIVE message on all signs, and request that you do not use profanity.
In the face of increasing violence against people in Minneapolis and throughout the country by ICE agents, we stand together to express our disapproval of our government's brutality.
Together, we are building visible resistance and organized compassion, meeting our neighbors, and joining together in acts of solidarity. We find joy in resistance through community, music, comedy and street theater. Join us!
