Christ Presbyterian Church, 944 E. Gorham St, Madison
Free & open to all, donations to the Middle East Children’s Alliance welcome.
Join us for Madison’s annual event honoring the life of Rachel Corrie, a 23-year-old peace activist from Olympia, WA who was crushed to death in Rafah on March 16, 2003 by a US-made Caterpillar armored D-9 bulldozer driven by an Israeli soldier as she stood against the demolition of a Palestinian home. As Israel crushes the lives of millions in Gaza, we believe that Rachel’s wish now would be that we do all in our power to end the genocide in Palestine. The event will include readings from Rachel’s writings, a video message from her parents Craig and Cindy, and time to write and call congress and the White House to demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire, opening of Gaza to unlimited and adequate humanitarian aid, and an end to US support of the Israeli military.Music by Ensemble Shamaali, featuring the oud, drum and flute.
Desserts and beverages will be served. Palestinian crafts, olive oil & olive oil soap will be available for purchase, as will children’s books about Palestine and books by and about Rachel Corrie.
