Raising Voices for Palestine: A Unitarian Universalist Vigil for Gaza
Part 1
Sunday, July 7th, 2024
8:00 PM to 9:00 PM Eastern
Zoom provided upon RSVP
This vigil, open to all, is to honor the spiritual work toward ending the violence. This is part 1 of a series, beginning with voices from Palestine, SWANA, and BIPOC. Part 2 will be held July 21 and center Jewish heritage members of our faith.
We honor the hard work within Unitarian Universalism to pass the historic Solidarity with Palestinians Action of Immediate Witness (uupalestineaction.org), and the range of local organizing for justice and liberation. We are calling for a permanent ceasefire and end to the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza, a release of all hostages/prisoners, humanitarian aid, and an accountability process that is not rooted in revenge. We deeply honor the worth and dignity of all Palestinians and all Israelis.
We are centering the voices of those most affected and we ask attendees to hold this with intention. We aim to be present with one another and deepen our attention to the crises in Gaza as Unitarian Universalists. We are mindful of the deep and complex roots in the minds and hearts of Westerners.
Join us as we grieve, rage, learn, and find solace together. The vigil will be held for 45 minutes, and we may host facilitated breakout session afterwards depending on capacity for those who wish to connect more intentionally.
