Every Life, A Universe: Black Ribbon Global Day of Remembrance Campaign
Event by Nonviolence International and Jefferson County Palestine Solidarity
As part of many initiatives that are happening globally, on October 6, 7, and 8, we invite you to join our international community online at 2:00 pm ET/9:00 pm Jerusalem Time. Through these virtual gatherings, we will establish a unified ritual space to process grief, confront the systems of oppression that perpetuate immeasurable suffering, and reframe the crisis in Palestine and Israel by fostering a shared vision of reconciliation, justice, and collective actions to bring about peace.
Facilitators on October 7: (Moderated by Shiri Ourian)
Bassam Aramin: Incarcerated at 17, Bassam spent 7 years in Israeli jails. He later studied history and earned an MA in Holocaust studies. He joined the Parents Circle after losing his 10-year-old daughter, Abir, who was killed by an Israeli border policeman outside her school.
Anat Marnin: Born in Israel as the youngest sister of two brothers. Her life changed dramatically when both brothers were killed in the Yom Kippur War on October 7, 1973. This profound loss led her to the Parents Circle, where she promotes peace and reconciliation.
Special Message from Ma'ayan Inon: A bereaved Israeli daughter sharing her insights on loss and healing.
