Peace activists will gather from 1:00 to 5:00 pm for the vigil. Granite Staters are invited to join Veterans and supporters in a fast and a vigil to remember the innocent children of Gaza whose lives have been cut short. The Palestine Director of Human Rights Watch, Omar Shakir, said, “Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon of war has proven deadly for children in Gaza.” The vigil organizers will fast on Tuesday, Nov. 26, to show solidarity with the children of Palestine. Speakers representing various faith and social service communities will be presenting throughout the afternoon. Attendees are also invited to speak. Granite Staters can join by fasting for one or more meals, or they can make donations to organizations that are working to alleviate the anguish of the people of Gaza, especially the children. Donations can be made to UNICEF, OXFAM, Save the Children, the American Friends Service Committee, the UN World Food Program, and UNRWA USA.
