Subject: Mass vigil of Women in Black - Friday October 5.

Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2001 23:53:20 +0100



The Coaliton of Women for Peace invites you to join the mass vigil of

Women in Black - Israel that will take place at the Megiddo Junction on

Friday, October 5. The vigil will be the closing event of Bat Shalom's

Sukkat Hashalom that includes 3 days of dialogue, political education and

discussions scheduled about: "One Year of Intifadah, One Moment Before War:

Women Offer Alternatives".

This event is organized by Jewish and Palestinian women in the north of

Israel who have been active together for many years in the movement to end

the occupation and for a just political solution to the Israeli Palestinian

conflict.

On or about that day, women and men from all over the world are planning to

hold their own vigils and demonstrations against the danger of war as well

as solidarity vigils with our initiative. WIB in San Francisco will

organize a solidarity vigil with the vigil in Israel. Other WIB groups

around the world are already involved in many actions that protest and

condemn the danger of war. The Marche des Femmes Mondiale based in Quebec

will hold a vigil on October 5 in Montreal against the threat of war,

violence and poverty. They have also called their international network to

act at the same day as part of an international initiative of women against

war.

We call on the Women in Black network and other peace networks to join

this international initiative to create a coordinated

effort of protest and call for peace.
