Silent Procession: Demand An End to Genocide!
For almost two years, the people of Gaza have been under a continually escalating genocidal assault by the Israeli government. Over time there has been a growing movement against the genocide in NYC, throughout this country and around the world. Public opinion has shifted and many more people agree that we need to do everything possible to end U.S. military, economic and diplomatic support of the Israeli government.
On October 5th NYC Jewish Elders is organizing a Silent Procession that will be an opportunity for people throughout our city to gather as we mourn the horrific Palestinian losses, and re-commit to the ongoing work to end the genocide. We will gather on the upper west side of Manhattan at 12 noon (location will be sent later), and then walk silently in twos or threes as we carry effigies symbolizing Palestinians who have been killed and photos of children, journalists, medical workers and others. We will have prominent banners so people know why we are there, leaflets to hand out to passersby, and we are urging everyone to wear black (if possible). We are also asking that no one, and no organizations, bring their own banners or signs to this solemn, silent event.
