From Andy:
PLEASE VIGIL FOR PEACE TODAY @ 5pm IN FRONT OF TEXAS CAPITOL at 11th St & Congress Ave in Austin.
It would be nice if all sides renounced violence, but certainly the weight of it comes from US-backed Israeli Defense Forces. As a person of Jewish descent who is not a Zionist, I denounce all the violence and invite you to join our regular Friday nonviolent peace vigil 5-6 pm at 11th and Congress. Bring friends and signs and your desire for peace.
I understand the House of Representatives is on recess so Lloyd Doggett may be reachable at 916-5921 or lloyd.doggett@mail.house.gov.
If you can't make it at 5, come at 5:30 and/or hold your own vigils this weekend.
Thanks, Andy ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Angie Nichols <ANichols@afsc.org> Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2002 13:24:40 -0500
Dear Friends,
As we celebrate this weekend whether it be with a (sic) Sader for Passover (freedom from slavery), a passion play for the resurrection of Jesus Christ, or just an easter egg hunt with those cute fuzzy little bunnies and marshmallow chickies(Easter rabbit, a symbol of fertility, and in colored easter eggs, originally painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring), please pray for a peaceful resolution of the (sic) Isreal/Palestine conflict.

Urgent from Palestine
Friends as you may be hearing, seeing or reading the situation in Palestine is desperate. Israeli forces have invaded almost every area of Ramallah and we are under heavy tank shelling and gun fire. An unidentified number of people are dead and scores are injured. Ambulances have been prevented access and soldiers are opening fire on them.
There are internatioal civilians in the areas under fire witnessing the carnage of the Israeli soldiers wreaked on the Palestinian people.
Other internationals have been beaten down for trying to get into Ramallah to help Palestinians.
We extend a plea from the Palestinians and the international witnesses to all of our friends abroad to immediately phone and/or fax your representatives and respective governments to demand urgent and decisive action to stop Israel's brutal offensive on the Palestinian people.
Gather, march, and protest in the streets! We need the voices of all good people around the world!
PLEASE ACT NOW
