Location Details:
San Lorenzo Park (stage area) Santa Cruz

Our goal is to bring attention to the gap between Rep. Panetta’s unwavering support for the Israeli government’s policies towards the population of Gaza and the West Bank and the public’s cry for a permanent ceasefire and a just peace. We envision this event as a way to build our pro-peace community in the spirit of nonviolent expression. 

The organizers of this event include people from all four counties in Rep. Panetta’s district who have been active in peace groups; religious congregations; Palestine solidarity groups; Jewish pro-peace groups; nonviolence organizations; and trade unions. We plan a 5-day vigil for Hiroshima Week, August 5-9th, at Panetta’s offices in the district.  

If you are available for the July 21 event and/or during Aug 5-9th, I look forward to talking with you to discuss your participation. For more info check: panetta-vigil.org. For questions: info [at] panetta-vigil.org

Vigil to End US-Supported Violence Towards Palestinians

Live music, activities, and speakers

The goal of this vigil is to attract public and media attention to the gap between Rep. Panetta’s unwavering support for the Israeli government and arms industry and the public’s cry for a permanent ceasefire and a just peace. We call on our Congress Member to advocate for on a permanent ceasefire, an end to the Israeli military occupation, and statehood for the Palestinian people. We carry out the vigil in the spirit of nonviolence.

Sign the petition for Panetta to boycott Netanyahu's speech: Panetta-vigil.org

We will continue the vigil at Rep. Panetta’s district offices during Hiroshima Week: August 5-9th, hours to be determined
