Madison, M-F Daily “Walking Vigil for Peace”

Becoming a DAILY “Walking Vigil for Peace”

Today, October 7th, after one year of horrific violence and genocide in Palestine/Israel, this almost 45-year-old noon hour vigil will shift to become a DAILY (Monday – Friday) “Walking Vigil for Peace.” (Through October 15th. It is yet to be determined if this daily action will go beyond 10/15.)

*** We will not walk on Indigenous Peoples Day – 10/14. 

On all the other weekdays (October 7th – October 15th) we will begin our “Walking Vigil” at the State St. Corner of the WI Capitol square at noon. 

All who are outraged by the U.S. support for Israel’s horrific genocidal war are welcome to meet us at any of the places outlined in the schedule below. 

Daily Walking Peace Vigil Schedule:

12:00 Noon – State St. corner of the Capitol Square 

12:05 PM – Depart for a walk down State St. 

12:30 PM – Brief standing vigil near the fountain on the Memorial Library Mall

12:35 PM – Walk back up State St. to the Capitol 

1:00 PM – Brief gathering at the State St. corner of the Capitol Square (short song, announcements, and farewells.)
