Join the international days of action against
the Israeli occupation - stand up for human rights and justice.
This June, activists will be marking the 34th
year of the Israeli occupation by a series of public actions in Israel,
and cities throughout the world (see the full list below).
We invite you to join in solidarity with an
event sponsored by the Coalition of Women for a Just Peace, in cooperation
with like-minded organizations: A mass vigil
of Women in Black, joined by men dressed in black on Friday, June 8, 2001,
in West Jerusalem, Israel.
On or about that day, women and men from all
over the world will hold their own "Women in Black" vigils that call for
an immediate end to the occupation.
Vigils are planned in:
In Costa Rica, a "webcast vigil" will be held this Friday at noon, 6
p.m. and 10 p.m. (local time) by Feminist International Radio Endeavour
(FIRE). Vigil participants from
all over the world can send in statements to be read on the air (fuegocr@racsa.co.cr),
and, that evening, can give live reports about how their vigils went
(www.fire.or.cr).

Organizing your own vigil
Hold a solidarity vigil wherever you live.
The principle is simple, and can be done by one person or a group: Wear
black, hold signs that say "End the Israeli Occupation", and stand for
one hour in a public location. You can hold this vigil at a time and place
that is convenient for you.
The more vigils = the more impressive the media
coverage = the more the political leadership around the world will get
the message: This occupation is unacceptable. Period.
If you are planning to organize a vigil in
your city, please contact Bat Shalom immediately at batshalo@netvision.net.il
