This vigil, open to all, is to honor the spiritual work toward ending violence. This is Part 2 of a series that began with voices from Palestine, SWANA, and BIPOC and continues with UU Jewish Voices in our community.
We honor the hard work within Unitarian Universalism to pass the historic Solidarity with Palestinians Action of Immediate Witness and the range of local organizing for justice and liberation. In the spaces between outrage and numbness and in the face of the weaponization of zionism that seeks to silence voices for human rights, we hold vigil to provide a sacred place for people of conscience. We call 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 center the voices of those most affected and ask attendees to hold this with intention. We are mindful of the deep and complex roots in the minds and hearts of Westerners. We aim to be present with one another and deepen our attention to the crisis in Gaza as Unitarian Universalists.
Join us this 21 July 2024, 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM Eastern online via Zoom as we grieve, rage, learn, and find solace together. The vigil will be held for up to an hour, and we may host a facilitated breakout session afterwards, depending on capacity for those who wish to connect more intentionally.
