>October 26, 2003, is the 2-year anniversary of the passage of the USA
>PATRIOT Act and the last day before the Muslim holiday Ramadan, making
>it a fitting time for people of all faith traditions to affirm and
>celebrate fundamental freedoms.
>
>As a result, a diverse group of religious organizations, including FCNL
>and AFSC, have declared the entire weekend, October 24-26, 2003, as
>"Witness for Civil Liberties Weekend." By engaging in programs of
>education, worship, and community action, participating religious
>organizations can help to ensure that freedom in the United States is
>truly for all people---regardless of citizenship, nationality, race, or
>religion. Witness for Civil Liberties Weekend: Because Freedom is for
>All People!
>
>The event website, http://www.witnessforcivilliberties.org, has a wealth
>of ideas and information on how to get involved, as well as a sign-up
>form for officially registering your congregation, meeting, or
>organization as a participant.  The site includes resources such as:
>links to articles analyzing the USA PATRIOT Act and other regulations
>and orders impacting civil liberties, tips on holding a vigil, possible
>discussion questions for a forum, as well as sermons and liturgical
>readings about civil liberties.
