From UUSF Human Rights Working Group:
Please join us for a reckoning, a collective refusal, a gathering of those who cannot look We come to grieve every stolen Palestinian life-every child starved; every family erased. We come to grieve the collapse of our shared humanity-and to ignite what remains.

This grief is not weakness. It is fire. It is clarity. It is a declaration:
We will not look away.
We will not be silent.

Bring what you need to stay present:

◦ A candle - to honor the lives taken.

◦ A stone — to root into ancestral strength.

◦ A picture — of whom or what you cannot forget.

An empty bowl - to honor those being starved in Gaza, to make visible the cruelty This vigil is a line in the sand. Join us. Bring your heartbreak. Bring your fury. Together we call for the return of UNRWA and the shutting down of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)-
(These words and the call for this action comes from Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb, Ashira & friends)
