Mennonites Across the US and CA host sit-ins, peace services in congressional and parliament offices

Mennonites staged over 40 peace service protests at the offices of elected officials in the US AND CANADA while calling for US action to prevent genocide in Gaza. Here in Kalamazoo, along with members from Brethren, Quaker, and Kalamazoo Nonviolent Opponents of War groups (about 30 persons in total) we targeted Representative Bill Huizenga. Outside Huizenga’s Portage office, we held signs, sang Mennonite Hymns, and shared our personal stories of deep grief and mourning for the Palestinians and Israelis killed in this war. We demanded and will continue to demand our elected officials call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
