Across the river in Minneapolis, Temple Israel synagogue was filled Friday morning with clergy, elected leaders and others for an interfaith service to launch the day of striking, marching and activism. Marcia Zimmerman, senior rabbi, declared that “history is on our side,” before lighting a candle in the synagogue’s sanctuary of remembrance for Good and people who have died in federal detention.

Washington’s Episcopal bishop, Mariann Budde, a former Minneapolis priest and prominent critic of President Donald Trump who traveled to Minnesota for Friday’s march, praised locals’ resistance.

“What I and others can do is connect the dots, between the scale and deliberate cruelty here with what has been taking place across the country,” she said, referring to the actions of the federal government. “Minneapolis has shown the country what it looks like to stand up.”
