Faith leaders and community members gather weekly at Columbus Circle to stand in solidarity and bear moral witness for democracy. Each vigil, held from 5:30 to 6:00 PM at the USS Maine Monument on the southwest corner of Central Park, is hosted by a different faith community or interfaith coalition. Through reflections, prayer, song, and collective presence, we affirm the power of spiritual resilience in the face of challenges to democratic values.
These gatherings serve as a space for inspiration, connection, and public witness, reminding us of the shared moral responsibility across faith traditions to uphold justice and human dignity. If your house of worship or community organization would like to host a Monday vigil, please sign up here. We invite all to join in this weekly call for unity and action.
