The peace vigils for Palestine continue. As Israel attacks Rafah with U.S. weapons it’s important we show up to advocate for a permanent ceasefire and equality for Palestinians.
Thanks to Fellowship of Reconciliation for providing us space and inviting us to join the peace vigils.
Palestinians mark the Nakba each year on May 15. The Nakba (Catastrophe) refers to the loss of hundreds of Palestinian villages, and the forced expulsion of more than 750,000 Palestinians from their homes between 1947-1949. Today, scholars and many others note that the Nakba has never ended and continues in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice will mark the Nakba this Monday, May 13, at the north end of Heritage Park (across from Traditions Fair Trade) in downtown Olympia, 9:00 AM- 6:00 PM. We’ll have a Nakba display representing many of the towns and villages destroyed from 1947-1949, and will have volunteers with tabling materials to support conversations about how the Nakba continues and what we can do about it.
We invite you continue to join us at the weekly peace vigils for Palestine.
There will be peace signs, or make your own.

Our friends at Olympia Fellowship of Reconciliation have invited us to the peace vigil they’ve organized for years as we continue to hold signs for a permanent ceasefire and an end to genocide.
As Israel continues to attack Gaza and deny to negotiate any peace deal that provides Palestinians humans rights and dignity, we’ll gather for the 25th week in a row.
