NH Immigrants Solidarity Vigil
2024-01-02 09:00 - 10:00 | Norris Cotton Federal Building, 275 Chestnut St., Manchester, NH, 03101, United States
Join the Immigrants Solidarity Vigils, the first Tuesday of the month at the ICE office in Manchester groups of faith and other supporters are welcome to join the vigils at the Norris Cotton Office building, 275 Chestnut St, Manchester at 9 AM. The vigils are organized by the Immigrant Solidarity Network which is a program of Granite State Organizing Project.
The Vigils consist of an opening ceremony, songs and the “Jericho Walk,” where attendees circle the block around the building seven times in accord with the biblical story from the Book of Joshua. But, instead of praying for the physical walls of the Norris Cotton Building to collapse, they pray that the walls of injustice facing immigrants will come tumbling down. After the vigil are prayers, updates from community members and closing prayers.
The Immigrant Solidarity vigils provide immigrants and their supporters a chance to meet each other and “coalesce for a common cause.” Those who have to check in with ICE, always fearful of an order that could force them to leave the communities where they have settled, have reacted at first with puzzled looks, but once they know what we’re doing they are grateful and know there is support for them in our community.
These vigils tell ICE and the Government; that we’re still here, that we still care, that we’re watching what’s going on and that we will continue fighting until we achieve a fair immigration system that works for all.

Kwanzaa (African-American/Pan-African)
2023-12-26 - 2024-01-01 | NH, United States
“As an African American and Pan-African holiday celebrated by millions throughout the world African community, Kwanzaa brings a cultural message which speaks to the best of what it means to be African and human in the fullest sense. Given the profound significance Kwanzaa has for African Americans and indeed, the world African community, it is imperative that an authoritative source and site be made available to give an accurate and expansive account of its origins, concepts, values, symbols and practice.” – Dr. Maulana Karenga, www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org
Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University, Long Beach, created Kwanzaa in 1966. After the Watts riots in Los Angeles, Dr. Karenga searched for ways to bring African-Americans together as a community. He founded US, a cultural organization, and started to research African “first fruit” (harvest) celebrations. Karenga combined aspects of several different harvest celebrations, such as those of the Ashanti and those of the Zulu, to form the basis of Kwanzaa.
The name Kwanzaa is derived from the phrase “matunda ya kwanza” which means “first fruits” in Swahili. Each family celebrates Kwanzaa in its own way, but celebrations often include songs and dances, African drums, storytelling, poetry reading, and a large traditional meal.
