Capitol Square at King St, 8 – 10:30 am
Join members of Mennonite Action Madison in a vigil bearing witness to the plight of the people of Gaza and Palestine.
The vigil event will involve 200+ pairs of shoes (many children’s) laid out on the walkway leading up to the State Capitol from the Square. This stunning visual representing the more than 75,000 Gazans killed by Israel in the past 2-1/2 years garners a lot of attention from Farmers’ Market shoppers.
In addition to the shoe exhibit, we will be present with signs showing support for the people of Palestine and will engage with passers-by.
Ways to participate include
- help with set up at 7:30 am
- show up in solidarity and engage with passers-by, as you feel led
- hold a sign showing your support
- help clean up the shoe exhibit from 10:30 – 11:00 am
