Subject: Protect Our Community Spaces: Support for Bubble Zone Legislation
Dear [Faith Leader’s Name],
As a member of [your organization’s name or your faith community], I am writing to express my deep concern about the growing trend of targeted protests taking place at houses of worship and faith-based schools. These demonstrations, while often framed as expressions of free speech, are in reality deliberate efforts to intimidate and harass identifiable communities—right at the places where we come together for peace, learning, service, and support.
Faith-based spaces should be sanctuaries—free from hate, fear, and disruption. These types of protests exploit our vulnerability and leverage the psychological dynamics of tribalism to generate fear and division. We are seeing the emotional, spiritual, and financial toll this is taking—not only on congregants and children, but also on our broader neighbourhoods, which are left to absorb the cost of security and law enforcement required to keep the peace.
That’s why I am urging you to take a stand in support of Bubble Zone Legislation in our municipality—protections that would ensure a minimum safe perimeter around houses of worship and faith-based schools, shielding them from targeted harassment and hostile disruption.
I respectfully ask you to take the following actions:
- Visit www.bubblezones.ca and explore the resources available to learn about the nature, concerns and merits of the issue
- Write or call our city councillor, MPP, and MP to voice support for this crucial protection
- Speak publicly about the importance of preserving the sanctity and safety of our shared spiritual spaces
As a community leader, your voice carries weight. By speaking up, you help reinforce the principle that faith communities deserve to gather and worship without fear of being targeted or harassed.
Thank you for your continued leadership and care for our community.
With respect and solidarity,
[Your Full Name]
