Oct 7- 15, 2024: Building Unity Daily Walking Vigil for Peace

10/7/24  

The Madison Monday Noon Vigil for Peace will become a Daily Walking Vigil Mon-Fri, October 7th – Oct. 15, 2024.

On most Mondays since 1981 a small group of pro-peace people have been gathering in downtown Madison, Wisconsin, calling on our government and all of us to demand an end to war. 

Today, October 7th, after one year of horrific violence and genocide in Palestine/Israel, this almost 45-year-old noon hour vigil will become a DAILY (Monday – Friday) “Walking Vigil for Peace,” at least through October 15th.

We will not walk on Indigenous Peoples Day, 10/14. 

We will begin our “Walking Vigil” at the State St. corner of the Wisconsin Capitol Square at noon. 

All who are outraged by the U.S. support for Israel’s horrific, genocidal war are welcome to meet us at any of the places outlined in the schedule below. 

Daily Walking Peace Vigil Schedule:

12:00 Noon – State St. corner of the Capitol Square 
12:05 PM – Depart for a walk down State St. 
12:30 PM – Brief standing vigil near the fountain on the Memorial Library Mall
12:35 PM – Walk back up State St. to the Capitol 
1:00 PM – Brief gathering at the State St. corner of the Capitol Square (short song, announcements, and farewells.)

Please spread the word:
