4PM PST / 7PM EST
A ritual to honor water, grieve the genocide in Palestine and to sustain us in our continued action for liberation.
Please join Queer Mikveh Project for a water ritual during this heartbreaking and horrifying time. The immensity of what we are being asked to hold as witnesses is a fraction of what Palestinians are going through right now. The current denial of Water and access to the Ocean, essential to Palestinian life, are being denied as tools in this genocide. There is a long history of water control by the Israeli government, and Gaza has been in a water crisis for years.
The occupation and domination are not safe for Jews or Palestinians. Anyone criticizing the Israeli military or government and any allyship with Palestinians leads to targeted violence in Israeli society. News of the horrors of the genocide in Gaza or the settler violence in the West Bank is being silenced in Israel.
We come together in solidarity with all indigenous people to truth-tell, hold space for healing and dedicate our gathering to:
Ending the genocide in Gaza NOW!
An immediate ceasefire.
Ending the occupation in all of Palestine which endangers Israelis, Palestinians, and everyone in the region.
Ending ALL militarism worldwide.
We are coming together for the sake of collectively healing the land, the waters and ourselves. WATER IS LIFE
This event will also include a dual fundraiser: one for mutual aid on-the-ground work in Gaza and one for Queer Mikveh Project.
Join from your bathtub, with a cup of tea or a bowl of water. Bring yourself, the names of your benevolent ancestors and the names of the people Indigenous to the land you live on.
All allies welcome regardless of religious affiliation, gender or sexual orientation.
ASL Interpretation will be available, please share details on your needs for the event below.
Zoom link and registration details will come in a follow-up email as we approach the day of the event. Can’t wait to be together.
