Vigil after violence in Pittsburgh

[LA Jews for Peace]

IfNotNow has organized a vigil for the victims of the Pittsburg shooting, tonight at the Westwood Federal Building, 6-8 PM.  

This morning, the unthinkable happened. At the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, during Shabbat services, a gunman opened fire, killing eleven people, injuring many more, and leaving countless others across the country in a state of grief and horror. In the days to come, as more details are made known, we will surely be left to grapple with questions of hatred and anti-Semitism, with the crisis of gun violence, and with this country's unstable lurch toward extremism. But as deep and important as these questions are, we are also called, now, to hold space, to show up for ourselves in our grief, in our compassion, and in the arms of our community. Tomorrow night, solidarity will be our safety. Please join us for a community vigil.This gathering will be co-hosted by IfNotNow, Bend the Arc Jewish Action, SIJCC - Silverlake Independent Jewish Community Center, IKAR and many others in the Jewish and Interfaith community. Where: Wilshire Federal Building. 11000 Wilshire Blvd., 90024 When: Tomorrow evening, Sunday, October 28th @ 6-8pm Link to event: https://www.facebook.com/events/301481604019046/ Bring a candle, bring a sign, bring your loved ones, bring anything that will help you find comfort. Together we will stand in mourning, in song, and against the white supremacist hatred that threatens our lives and the lives of other marginalized people.
