Can you join us as we rekindle our commitment to justice here in Durham on the eigth night of Hannukah?Come stand with us in support of refugees, and condemning racism & Islamophobia.

Where: Pacific Place, 600 Pine Street, Seattle
When: Sunday Dec 13th, 4:00pm

We will be holding nine signs, which, together, are in the shape of a Chanukah menorah. Each sign contains an injustice that we recommit ourselves to challenging.

Each night of Chanukah, Jews in different cities will hold up these signs and read aloud each commitment in a public space.

Our night to rekindle our commitments in Seattle is Sunday, December 13th-- will you be there with us?

We come together:

refusing to be silent about anti-Muslim and racist hate speech and hate crimes;
condemning state surveillance of the Muslim community;
challenging institutionalized racism and state-sanctioned anti-Black violence;
protesting the use of Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism to justify Israel’s repressive

policies against Palestinians; and
welcoming Syrian refugees and standing strong for immigrants’ and refugee rights.

We hope you will stand with us in Seattle on Dec 13th -- together, our calls for justice will reverberate all across the country.

In struggle,

Jewish Voice for Peace, Seattle Chapter
