Location: In front of Cannon House Building, 27 Independence Ave. SE

Christians 4 Ceasefire and Just Peace will mark Day 13 of the 40-day fast undertaken by Veterans for Peace and Allies on behalf of the people of Gaza with a vigil on Capitol Hill. VFP’s core team of fasters , who have gathered at the UN, have been subsisting on 250 calories a day, while more than 600 people around the country are “fasting in place.” In a letter to Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the UN, VFP and Allies call for immediate distribution of at scale humanitarian aid to Gaza, supervised by the UN, and an arms embargo on Israel. Speakers at Tuesday’s vigil include John Reuwer of Doctors against Genocide, Ellen Barfield from Veterans for Peace, and other religious leaders.
