STOP THE GENOCIDE!

Mennonite Action, along with Christian and Muslim Palestinian allies**, invite all to join a rally and march starting at Federal Plaza (W Adams St & S Dearborn St), on Saturday, June 22 at 1:00pm. We will sing, chant, listen to stirring speeches, and move our bodies to continue speaking up for Gaza.

See you on the 22nd!
