Many inquired about local solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza events/vigils.

This protest/rally below is organized by the local group Voices of Palestine. I
hope our efforts will go farther than just venting some frustrations and
influence those with political power to help stop this madness and senseless
violence and destruction. I will be passing out a petition to be signed and
other information on how to help out from here. This information was already
emailed to this listserv and there are various online petitions circulating.
The following one is out of Dr. Mustafa Barghouthi's office, the president of
the health NGO I work for in Palestine. There is a need for medical
professionals and social workers (graduate professional student volunteers are
welcome), so please contact me directly if you are able to help.

There is also a vigil being planned for this coming Saturday, which will be
sponsored by numerous community organizations, including the peace and
co-existence groups. Will send info. on this when more details are available.


Thank you,
