Sundays, noon-1 p.m. Broadway, Park and Elm Streets, New Haven
New Haven Sunday Vigil for Peace and Justice
RESIST THIS ENDLESS WAR!
The wars being fought and the injustices being perpetrated throughout this country and the world are all parts of one war being waged on many fronts. Through military action, occupation, and genocide, adults and children continue to be slaughtered, maimed, traumatized, and driven from their homes everywhere so that enormous wealth and power can be concentrated in the hands of a very few people. Bigotry, discrimination, widespread economic injustice, and domestic repression serve the same goal of enriching the few at the expense of the many. This “endless war” did not begin with the current administration, but it is now being pursued with no holds barred by the rightwing MAGA government of the United States and other authoritarian movements across the globe in a final, blatant attempt to consolidate power and destroy any semblance of democracy.
Join this vigil for peace and justice, ongoing since 1999.
Resist fascism now. Before it’s too late.
