October 22, 12:00 PM EDT - Zoom
Picket and Pray
Join Christians for a Free Palestine, Mennonite Action, Kirkridge Retreat and Study Center, and our partners for a weekly 30 minute Zoom call for shared action for a Free Palestine and spiritual practice rooted in the Christian tradition. As Israel’s U.S.-funded genocide has escalated, including forcibly starving millions of Palestinians in Gaza, this moment calls for our sustained commitment to act. We can do so much more together than we can do alone. Our time together will include a short program of check-in, prayer, and a collective digital action. No matter where you live, your age, ability, experience with activism, or level of risks you can take, these calls are for you. We invite you to join us and invite your friends and loved ones.
These weekly calls were inspired by action hours led by Jewish Voice for Peace, American Friends Service Committee, Sabeel, and others. We also draw the name from Kirkridge Retreat and Study Center’s original tagline in 1942 “Picket and Pray” as this group of Christians hungered for a place to take political action and hold spiritual practices together in community.
