A coalition of Native American. student, citizen and climate justice groups will hold a candlelight vigil in solidarity with the Standing Rock water protectors at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 26, at Fifth and B streets in Central Park.

Participants will gather to pray and reflect on the water protectors and to “acknowledge the goodness of humanity and the sacredness of our Mother Earth.” This event also will acknowledge the hard work and solidarity by residents of Davis and surrounding areas to stop the Dakota Access oil pipeline.

The event is sponsored by Davis Stands with Standing Rock, the Davis Interfaith Alliance for Climate Justice, Fossil Free UC Davis and Students and Workers for Ending Racial Violence.

Participants will meet at the large oak tree on the C Street side of Central Park.
