MADISON
Mon Sept 23 12 noon – 1 pm Sept 23 – Vigil to hold space together and demand our representatives end US complicity in Gaza. Meet in front of Senator Baldwin’s office, 30 W Mifflin St. We will hold space for the grief and pain of those suffering in Gaza and beyond that is being caused by the use of US provided military support. We will visit Baldwin’s 7th floor office to remind her of our demand that, along with Bernie Sanders, she disapprove the upcoming $20 billion more in US arms sales to Israel.  According to AP News, Bernie Sanders is preparing resolutions that would block the upcoming sales. In a letter to Senate colleagues, Sanders said the U.S. cannot be “complicit in this humanitarian disaster.” We acknowledge our country’s complicity and say, NO MORE!

A moving recount on video, by Hideko Tamura, who was 10 years old living in Hiroshima, when atomic bombs wrought terrible destruction on the Japanese cities and citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. She describes her experiences before, during and after the Hiroshima bomb. She appeals to us all, “I depend on all of your energy, please continue what you are doing to rule out violent means, especially this inhumane, horrible weapon…. We are not barbarians; we are humans and let us be truly and fully human….” She’s the author of “One Sunny Day, A Child’s Memories of Hiroshima” and “When A Peace Tree Blooms.” We will have time for discussion after the video, with light refreshments. Interview with Amy Goodman:
