Showing of Israelism
In all, we collected $805 (plus one Canadian 20 dollar bill). That's after we paid Tom for the hall rental. We will be sending that amount to UNRWA.
The movie was very powerful, and several members of the audience were moved by it. Mark was great as usual. We had lots of old friends, and many new people. Thanks to Mimi for designing a ceasefire card for people to sign, and an information sheet on how and why to ask the Woodstock Town Board to support a ceasefire resolution.
Here we are, packed into the studio.
Pat Ryan: sellout
Sometimes Rep. Ryan is so bad that he must be getting paid. How a politician could keep his mouth shut while hundreds and soon thousands of children will be eating grass in Gaza? Is you money that good?
Take a look at who is bribing Congressman Ryan. This from the well respected research of OpenSecrets.org
Good event, but conflict with film showing in Woodstock
This is a conflict with the movie showing in Woodstock. Take your choice!
Weekly vigils for Palestine
The Beacon event every Sunday at Polhill Park has been temporarily moved to Poughkeepsie (Harriet Tubman Park on 44/55 just up from the bridge). This because Beacon passed its ceasefire resolution, while Poughkeepsie is still working on getting enough votes in the city council.
Bread and Puppet: Hope in the Time of Genocide
The Bread and Puppet Theater will be doing a show at the UU Fellowship called "The Hope Principle Show: Citizens' Shame and Hope in the Time of Genocide" on Friday, April 5 at 7 p.m. I'm attaching a poster and press release. The Facebook event is here:
To lament – without spoken words – the ongoing destruction of lives in Gaza
Creating a sacred space for everyone to grieve and lament
the ongoing destruction of lives in Gaza.
KINGSTON, NY, MARCH 20 - The Peace Education Center of the Hudson Valley, Old Dutch Church, and the Social Action Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Catskills invite the general public to a spiritual but not religious event to lament – without spoken words – the ongoing destruction of lives in Gaza, where U.S. military aid contributes to unspeakable harm.
On Thursday, March 28, during the hours of 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., everyone is encouraged to drop in for a visit to the sanctuary of Old Dutch Church, 272 Wall Street, Kingston, NY.
Visitors are invited to forgo a meal, in solidarity with people who have insufficient food and water. Instead of breakfast, lunch, or dinner, visitors are welcome to sit in quiet reflection, listen to solemn music, offer a prayer, light a candle for peace, and create birds with the names of Palestinian children who have died.
