The Interfaith Center of New York and our partners invite New Yorkers of all faiths and none to join us each week at Columbus Circle for Multifaith Mondays: Moral Witness for Democracy.
Since March 3, 2025, the Multifaith Monday vigils have served as a sacred space for collective lament, prophetic resistance, and multifaith community-building in a time of deep division and threat to America’s democratic values. We come together as diverse New Yorkers every Monday — rain or shine, hot or cold — to draw strength from each other, and stand together against authoritarianism.
If we can do nothing else in the end, we will bear public witness to the highest ideals to which we have been called, and commit to pursue them even when the way is dark and unclear. As M. Gessen teaches, “Autocratic power requires the degradation of moral authority.” Through a ministry of presence, we strengthen the moral authority of democratic voices and values. Please join us next Monday, and invite your friends, family, congregation or community!
Every Monday, rain or shine, from 5:30 – 6:00 pm.
Columbus Circle, 59th Street and Central Park West. Click here for directions. Gather at the USS Maine memorial on the southwest corner of Central Park.
