TODAY: In Solidarity With Palestine
May 18, 2021 — A general strike has been called for by civil society in Jerusalem and across historic Palestine to call attention to the ongoing, state sanctioned violence against the Palestinian people. Since last week, more than 220 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank and Gaza, including more than 60 children, with over 1400 wounded in Gaza alone, along with 10 Israelis who've been killed in retaliation by Hamas rockets.
As people of faith who believe every person is precious and beloved by God, we condemn such violence and our hearts are with all those who are mourning. As requested by the call for the strike, in solidarity with our siblings, IPMN will livestream a prayer vigil on our Facebook page and through Zoom.
We hope you can join us at 9pm ET! Please share this IPMN vigil link with your churches and invite friends!
