Weekly Silent Vigil for Gaza in Seaton, on Saturdays at 11
Some of the 60 people who attended this week’s vigil for Gaza in Exeter
We have watched with horror as Israel has destroyed Gaza for almost two and a half years. Despite a so-called ‘ceasefire’, Israel is still killing civilians, blocking the entry of food and humanitarian aid, and dismantling established international aid operations.
Nearly two million survivors are still living amidst the ruins and in tents despite terrible winter rain. Our government has supported Israel and is doing nothing meaningful to stop this.
So some of us have got together and decided to start a weekly silent vigil for Gaza in Seaton. We will stand in a line for 30 minutes each Saturday at 11 am, at Thury Harcourt Place near the roundabout, STARTING next Saturday 7th MARCH.
Please join us on that day or whenever you can. We will have a banner and placards. Since it’s a silent vigil, we will not be canvassing the public so there’s no reason to worry about having to persuade people.
We know, from the contact that some of us have with people in Gaza, that it means a lot to them to know that people around the world care.
If you’d like to be informed of any changes to the schedule or other activities, we’re setting up a WhatsApp group and you can join this by sending me your mobile number.
