Join the Singing Vigil at 5:00pm
Our task at the Boardwalk this Thursday is to speak to the hearts of members of our community who may not be aware of Panetta's tragic record of supporting Netanyahu's violence towards Palestinians—and Lebanese, Syrians, and Yemenis. In addition to singing in front of Cocoanut Grove, we'll be talking to the people who are entering the dinner.
We wish Panetta would recognize these suffering people as his kin, but we're not counting on it. So we'd like to elect someone to Congress who shares our values. For starters, please sign the Peace & Human Rights Pledge:
