Join us when you can. We stand vigil each Friday for one hour to protest the ongoing Israeli occupation of Palestine. We distribute 400 flyers about the situation on the ground in Palestine. We protest the murder of Palestinian adults and children, International Solidarity Workers and reporters, the torture of Palestinian and Arab prisoners including children. People are often held in prison for very long periods in terrible conditions with no counsel and no charges. Homes, olive groves and other agricultural lands are bulldozed. We protest Israel's theft of the water and building Jewish only settlements and roads and the huge apartheid Wall built on more stolen Palestinian lands. Demand the opening of the Rafah gate. We protest the strangulation of the people of Gaza! 325 children have been killed in Gaza in the last month alone! Now there is widespread malnutrition throughout Gaza.
Let your voices be heard.

The Women in Black held a silent vigil this weekend at the Sabeel Conference. The conference was targeted because it provided a one-sided account of the Middle East conflict and distorted history.
Women in Black stand in solidarity and in hallmark silence against war, violence and racism. We urge all Women in Black to stand with us against the lies presented at Sabeel.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
