Please join us for a vigil calling for an immediate end to the genocide in Gaza and an immediate ceasefire, 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.*, each Wednesday at the Old Federal Building at the NE corner of 7th & Pearl, Eugene. Some signs and candles will be provided, bring your own if you can.
Sponsored by Planet Versus Pentagon.
*The start time has been moved earlier because of the limited winter daylight. (Some people arrive at 4:00 during the winter months and some stay until 6 p.m.)
We call for an immediate ceasefire and a stop to the genocide of Palestinians, sending humanitarian aid to the civilians affected, and pressuring members of Congress not to send more military aid. Diplomacy, not weapons, is needed in the Middle East. Only the weapons manufacturers and oil industry benefit from genocide.
The Military-Industrial-Congressional-University Complex has the biggest carbon footprint in the world.
