Sun Dec 2, 12:30 – 1:30 pm — Women in Black Weekly Silent Vigil. Meet at Center City Park on the Corner of Tower and Belknap. Our vigil is calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, an end to Israeli blockade of Gaza, an end to genocide in Gaza, and an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. This will be a silent vigil. Many find this healing and powerful for continuing our work towards peace and justice. After the half hour of silence, there will be a group song and group reading of names and ages of some of those killed in Gaza. Anyone wanting to stay and stand longer with signs is welcome to do so! Please wear black (if you can) and a hat or scarf for head cover. Homemade signs are welcome. Contact Christine at christineolson3@gmail.com
