Interfaith Press Conference for Palestine

Monterey Palestine Solidarity announces an open forum and interfaith press conference to address Congressman Jimmy Panetta’s responsibility and expected policy changes regarding Israel’s ongoing violence against the Palestinian people.

The event, scheduled for Friday, September 5, 2025, at the Monterey County Courthouse, will feature community dialogue, an interfaith press conference, and the submission of a partial list of names of Palestinian children killed by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to Jimmy Panetta’s office.

The event begins at 12:00 PM with an open forum, inviting community members to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Palestine and Congressman Panetta’s role in shaping U.S. policy.

At 1:00 PM, an interfaith press conference will unite diverse faith leaders and community activists to call for accountability and advocate for policy changes to address the reported genocide.

At 1:30 PM, organizers will submit a partial list of names of Palestinian children killed by the IDF, highlighting the human toll of the conflict.

“Congressman Panetta has a moral and political obligation to address the devastating impact of Israel’s actions on Palestinian civilians,” said Monterey Palestine Solidarity member Alec Stefan. “This event is a call to action for our community and leaders to stand for justice and human rights.”

All are welcome to attend and participate in this critical dialogue.
