Solidarity Shabbat

This Shabbat we are joining JVP members across the country in a solidarity fast with the 6 JVP Chicago Hunger Strikers. We will gather to show our public support of the strikers, bring attention to the starvation in Gaza, and contact senator Tillis to demand his action to let aid into Gaza. Join us!

For over 3 months, the Israeli government has blocked almost all food from entering Gaza. If the situation persists, nearly 71,000 children under the age of five are expected to be acutely malnourished over the next eleven months, according to a UN report, with potential life-long damage to their health and development. We cannot accept business as usual while the people of Gaza are being intentionally starved to death. 

JVP Triangle, as a coalition of Jewish North Carolinians and other people of conscience, invites individuals, organizations, and congregations to join us in a statewide solidarity fast, with an aim to pressure NC Senator Thom Tillis to use his power to STOP STARVING GAZA.
