MONTICELLO - The Sullivan County Human Rights Commission, in partnership with Sullivan Allies Leading Together (SALT) and the Callicoon Business Association, invites the entire Sullivan County community to join them for a vigil at the Callicoon Train Depot between Upper and Lower Main St. in Callicoon on Sunday, February 23 at 4:30 p.m. There will be coffee and tea at The Callicoon Pantry, 43 Lower Main St., after the vigil.

“The vigil will be our statement: ‘Hate Has No Home in Sullivan County',” Human Rights Commission Chair Martin Colavito explains. “By attending, we are stating that our hearts and minds will always be connected with those who have suffered directly or indirectly from attacks upon faith, race or identity.”

Speakers will include various faith-based clergy. The event is non-partisan.

The Sullivan County Human Rights Commission is dedicated to fostering mutual respect and understanding for the rights of all persons in Sullivan County. Meetings, open to the public, are held on the second Thursday of each month in the Legislative Meeting Room of the Sullivan County Government Center, 100 North Street, Monticello.
